Description

This simply elegant chocolate lava cakes are not only ready in minutes; they are a dessert that will be asked for, forever and always!


Ingredients

Units Scale

1/2 c bittersweet chocolate chips
4 T butter
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1/4 t vanilla
pinch of salt
1/4 c powdered sugar
2 T flour


Instructions

Preheat oven to 425.

Butter two 8 oz ramekins.

Melt chocolate and butter in microwave for 45 seconds. Stir until chips are melted. Whisk in egg and egg yolk. Add vanilla, salt, powdered sugar and flour.

Bake for 10 minutes. You may eat these from the ramekins or you may unmold them and serve them directly on the plate. Top with ice cream or whipped cream.

These  can be held on the counter until you are ready to bake them. In our case, this means do the dishes, put in the cakes and then cakes are ready to devour. You can bake these up to about 14 minutes, but the centers will not be as runny or molten. This cake is extraordinary and perfect for any occasion.
