I tried making the decadent Chocolate Molten Lava Cake today! 🍫✨ As I mixed the batter, the anticipation of the gooey center oozing out was truly thrilling.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 🧈
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped 🍫
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 🍚
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar 🍰
- 2 eggs + 2 egg yolks 🥚
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
- Pinch of salt 🧂
Preparation Steps:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four ramekins with butter. Dust with cocoa powder. 🍽️
2. Melt butter and chocolate together, then stir in flour and powdered sugar. 🍫
3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, egg yolks, vanilla, and salt until creamy. 🥚
4. Combine the chocolate mixture with the egg mixture until smooth. 🥄
5. Divide the batter into the prepared ramekins. Bake for 12-14 minutes. The edges should be firm but the center soft. 🕒
6. Remove from the oven and let them sit for a minute. Carefully invert onto plates. Serve warm and enjoy the molten lava goodness! 🔥🍮

Notes: To ensure the lava cakes release easily, make sure to butter and cocoa dust the ramekins thoroughly. Be cautious when handling the hot ramekins! Feel free to pair these cakes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. What's your favorite dessert to bake on a cozy evening?
