Lava Cake

I'd be happy to help you learn about Lava Cake!

Lava Cake, also known as Chocolate Lava Cake or Molten Chocolate Cake, is a popular dessert that features a rich, warm, and oozing chocolate center. The cake itself is usually made with a mixture of chocolate, butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. The key to achieving the signature lava-like center is to slightly underbake the cake, leaving the center soft and gooey.

Here's a simple recipe for Lava Cake:

Ingredients:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the ramekins

4 oz semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted, plus more for dusting

2 large eggs

2 large egg yolks

6 tbsp all-purpose flour

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter, then dust with powdered sugar. Tap out any excess sugar.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.

3. Whisk in the powdered sugar, followed by the eggs and egg yolks. Mix until well combined.

4. Fold in the flour until the batter is smooth.

5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.

6. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers are still soft.

7. Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them rest for 1 minute. Use a knife to loosen the edges of the cakes, then invert them onto individual plates.

8. Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.

Enjoy your delicious Lava Cake!
