Chocolate Lava Cakes



Chocolate Lava Cakes Sinfully rich, easy yet fancy, our chocoholic's dream recipe for Chocolate Lava Cakes is modeled after the ones we might find on a restaurant menu. These are packed with an eruption of warm, flowing, decadent chocolate from the inside out.
Serves: 6
Cooking Time: 15 min
What You'll Need:
  • 1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/4 sticks butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
What To Do:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Coat 6 ramekins or custard cups with cooking spray (see Notes) and place on a baking sheet.
     
  2. In a microwave-safe medium bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter in microwave for 1 minute. Continue to melt at 15-second intervals until chocolate is smooth.
     
  3. Add flour and sugar to chocolate mixture; mix well. Stir in eggs and yolks until smooth then stir in vanilla.
     
  4. Spoon batter evenly into ramekins. Bake 12 to 14 minutes; remove from oven and let sit 5 minutes. Edges should be firm and center will be soft. Loosen around edges with a knife and invert onto dessert plates.
Notes
  • If you don't have ramekins or custard cups, you can use a cupcake tin; adjust cooking time accordingly.
     
  • Top with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream and your favorite fruit.
