I was feeling indulgent today so I whipped up a decadent Chocolate Lava Cake! 🍫✨ The experience of watching the warm, gooey center ooze out was simply delightful.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips 🍫
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 🧈
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar 🍚
- 2 eggs 🥚
- 2 egg yolks 🥚
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
- Pinch of salt 🧂
Preparation Steps:
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder. 🍽️
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter together, stirring until smooth. 🍫🧈
3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until frothy. Add the powdered sugar and mix well. 🥚🥚🍚
4. Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly. Fold in the flour and salt until just combined. 🥄
5. Divide the batter evenly among the ramekins. Bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are set but the center is soft. 🕒
6. Carefully run a knife around the edges, then invert each ramekin onto a plate. Serve immediately and enjoy the molten lava goodness! 🍰🌋
