Lava Cake

Ingredients

• 4 oz semi-sweet baking chocolate (chopped)
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 large eggs
• 2 large egg yolks
• 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/3 cup flour
• 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 400˚F. Grease six 4-ounce ramekins well with cooking spray, place them on a baking sheet and set aside. Melt the chopped chocolate and butter in the microwave on high. Stir until smooth.

2. 2

   Whisk in the powdered sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla.

3. 3

   Put the flour and cocoa powder into a sifter and sift into the bowl. Stir until combined.

4. 4

   Divide the batter between the six prepared ramekins.

5. 5

   Bake at 400˚F for 12-14 minutes until the sides are firm, yet the centers are still soft but not jiggy. The molten chocolate center should reach 160˚F with an instant-read thermometer.

6. 6

   Remove from oven and let stand for 3 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto serving plates. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
