Chocolate lovers, rejoice! This recipe for Decadent Chocolate Lava Cakes is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. These rich, gooey cakes are perfect for a special occasion or just to treat yourself. Follow the simple steps below to create this delightful dessert.
Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 140 g sugar
- 135 g dark chocolate (55 to 70% cocoa, according to your taste)
- 120 g unsalted butter
- 45 g flour
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
Directions:
1. Prepare the Batter
Start by melting the chocolate chunks and cubed butter gently using a double boiler or in the microwave. Ensure the mixture is smooth and well combined. In a separate bowl, vigorously combine the sugar and eggs until the mixture is smooth and pale in color. Gradually mix the melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture, continuously stirring. Add the flour and a pinch of salt (if using), and combine thoroughly until the batter is smooth and well mixed.
2. Rest
Pour the batter into buttered ramekins or a muffin pan. Refrigerate the filled ramekins or muffin pan for 1 hour. This resting period helps the batter set and enhances the lava effect.
3. Bake
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Bake the cakes for 9 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center remains molten. Adjust the baking time based on your oven’s characteristics to achieve the perfect lava consistency.
4. Serve
Serve the cakes warm, directly after baking, to enjoy the gooey, molten center. You can also add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
