The ultimate viral dessert: a rich, decadent cake with a gooey, flowing center.
Yields 2 individual cakes
Dark Chocolate: 100g (High quality, 60% cacao or higher) 🍫
Unsalted Butter: 60g 🧈
Powdered Sugar: 3 tbsp 🍬
Egg: 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk 🥚
All-Purpose Flour: 2 tbsp 🌾
Vanilla Extract: ½ tsp 🍦
Salt: A tiny pinch 🧂
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease two ramekins generously with butter and dust them with cocoa powder to prevent sticking. 🥣
2. Melt the Base: In a heat-proof bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second bursts (or use a double boiler) until silky smooth. 🫠
3. Whisk the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, egg yolk, sugar, and vanilla until slightly pale and frothy. 🌪️
4. Combine: Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Once combined, sift in the flour and salt. Fold lightly—do not overmix!🥄
5. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins. Bake for **10–12 minutes**.
The Secret: The edges should be firm and set, but the center should still look soft and slightly "jiggly." ⚠️
6. The Flip:** Let them cool for exactly 1 minute. Run a knife around the edge, place a plate on top, and carefully flip it over. 🔄
✨ Serving Suggestion
Top with a scoop of cold vanilla bean ice cream 🍦 and a dusting of powdered sugar. The contrast of the hot "lava" and cold cream is pure magic! ✨🍓
