Once upon a time, on a cozy fall day, the smell of chocolate filled a little house❤️
Chocolate Lava Cake
Ingredients
6 oz 170g chocolate semisweet chocolate
6 tbsp 85g butter
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
4 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp instant coffee (alternatively, 1 tsp orange zest)
Pinch of salt
For the dust:
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tbsp cacao powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450F.
Preparing the dust:
In a small bowl, mix the flour and cacao powder. Butter 4 six-ounce ramekins and dust the inside with the flour mixture. Set aside.
Preparing the lava cakes:
In a medium bowl, mix the flour, salt, and instant coffee.
In another medium bowl, add chopped chocolate and butter and microwave until melted and stir until smooth. (You can also melt the chocolate using the bain-marie method as shown in the video). Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar, using an electric mixer until pale and fluffy for 3-4 min. Add the vanilla.
Pour the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and mix until combined.
Add flour mixture into the batter and fold just until combined.
Divide the batter among the prepared ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake for 5 min at 450F, then reduce the heat to 400F, and bake for an additional 4-5 min. Remove from the oven immediately.
Using a kitchen cloth or oven gloves turn each cake onto small plates.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries and ice cream.
Serve immediately.
‼️Your cakes should look like the ones in the video, firm on the outside, but the center should be soft and jiggly with flowing chocolate.
‼️If you don’t like the bitter-sweet taste you can use 3 oz semisweet chocolate and 3 oz milk chocolate. But if you are going to use milk chocolate, you can reduce the amount of sugar a bit.
Bon Appétit, Buen Provecho, and Afiyet Olsun!
