If you’re looking for the perfect dessert to indulge in, look no further than a mouth-watering Lava Cake. There’s nothing quite like the heavenly combination of warm, gooey chocolate oozing out of a soft, fluffy cake. Here’s how to make this delicious treat with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 8 ounces of semisweet chocolate
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons of flour
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
First, preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C) and butter 4 cups in a muffin tray. Melt the butter and semisweet chocolate together in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure to stir the mixture constantly until the chocolate is fully melted, smooth, and shiny.
Next, remove the bowl from heat and whisk in the powdered sugar until well combined. Then add in the eggs, egg yolks, flour, and vanilla extract, mixing until all of the ingredients are well incorporated.
Baking Instructions:
Spoon the mixture into the buttered muffin cups until they are about three-quarters full. Tap the muffin tray gently on a hard surface to level the mixture.
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for around 12 minutes. Keep a close eye on the cakes to make sure they don’t overcook. The lava cakes should have a firm outer shell but should still be soft in the center.
Remove the tray from the oven and let it cool down for a minute or two. Then carefully run a knife around the edge of each muffin cup and invert the cakes onto a plate.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve the Lava Cakes with a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream and drizzle with a little chocolate syrup. Savor each delectable spoonful as your taste buds are transported to dessert heaven!
