Individual Molten Lava Cakes image

These are so quick and easy. I make them after dinner that way they are nice and gooey. You will need 4 small ramekins. My oven is weird so I cook for maybe 9 minutes I check often to mke sure they are still jiggly. After remving from oven I run a knife around the edges before unmolding. I use a combination of dark and semi sweet chocolate

Time 24m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Butter and flour four 4-ounce ramekins.
  • Melt chocolate with butter. Remove from heat. Beat eggs, yolks and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed in a deep bowl, 8 minutes, until thick and pale. Whisk chocolate mixture into egg mixture. Whisk in flour.
  • Pour batter into ramekins. Place on baking sheet and bake 14 minutes, or until cakes have risen and have a thin crust, sides are set and cakes are slightly jiggly in the center; under baking is better than over baking.
  • Carefully invert each cake onto a serving plate and let sit 20 seconds. Unmold by lifting up one corner of mold; cake will fall onto plate. Dust tops with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.
