BEST RECIPES Delicious Chocolate Lava Cakes
INGREDIENTS
- 4 ounces semisweet baking chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing custard cups
- 2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for the custard cups
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
PREPARATION
1. Preheat oven to 425°F, and grease two 6 to 8-ounce
custard cups or ramekins generously with butter. Put a small spoonful of sugar
in each cup, then turn the cup sideways and rotate it so that the sugar is
coating the butter all around. Dump out any excess sugar. Place the greased
cups on a baking sheet or oven safe dish.
2. Put the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave it on high for 30 seconds, take it out and stir it, then microwave it
for another 30 seconds and stir it again. It should be completely melted. If
there are still chunks of unmelted chocolate, microwave for another 20 seconds
and stir.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, cream the room temperature
butter and the sugar with an electric mixer or a rubber spatula. The mixture
should be thoroughly combined, smooth, and paste-like, not lumpy.
4. Add the two eggs to the creamed butter and sugar, and
beat it with the electric mixer or a whisk until everything is combined and the
mixture is starting to foam, about a minute. Add the flour and salt, and again
beat everything with the mixer until it's thoroughly mixed.
5. Add about 1/3 of the melted chocolate to the mixture in
the mixing bowl, then use a rubber spatula to gently fold it in. Add the rest
of the chocolate mixture, and fold together until you have a uniform batter
with no streaks.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the two greased custard
cups, then bake the cakes in the preheated oven until the tops are just set but
the cakes still jiggle slightly when you shake them, about 11 minutes.
7. Let the finished cakes sit in cups for five minutes when
they're finished baking. Then, flip each cup over on a dessert plate, and tap
the bottoms of the cups so that the cakes fall out.
8. Serve immediately. If you want, you can garnish them with
powdered sugar, whipped cream, and berries.
