Super Easy Lava Cake!

    I am very exciting show my recipe for great lava cake. I am pretty sure that when you see the word "lava cake" it spelling damage. It is not entirely true, lava cake can be difficult to make but it can be very easy if you know right way and right tools. This recipe need 4 ounce ramekins or custard cups (I use ramekins for this), oven and microwave. Yes, you are reading right I wrote microwave, it is great for melt chocolate depending on what you are make. This way you don't have to melt chocolate on the stove because with stove it can be very hot and cause the chocolate to separate.
  You can make this lava cake ahead of time, it can be refrigerate for up to one week then all you have to do is put it in the oven. Easy right?
  This is great for anyone to make this for their love, I mean most woman need chocolate right? This is pretty ultimate way to enjoy chocolate. Who don't love warm chocolate flow out of the cake. Mmmm Oh I am glad that I already made lava cake because writing this already make me craving. I am going straight to my lava cake after this. Enjoy!

  • 4 (4-ounce) ramekins or custard cups
  • wax or parchment paper
  • 6 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 square (1 ounce each) bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, cut into pieces
  • half cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 eggs yolks
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract (not fake stuff)
  • pinch salt
  • confectioners' sugar (icing sugar)
Line the bottom of the ramekins with waxed paper, then grease; set aside

In medium microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter and chocolate at HIGH (100%) 45 seconds or until chocolate is melted; stir until smooth.

With wire whisk, beat in sugar, flour and salt until blenched. Beat in eggs, egg yolks and vanilla. Evenly spoon into prepared ramekins. Refrigerate 1 hour or until ready to bake.

Preheat oven to 425 F. Arrange ramekins on baking sheet. Bake 13 minutes or until the edges are firm but centres are still slightly soft (DO NOT OVERBAKE or there will be no melted chocolate inside)

On wire rack. cool 5  minutes. To serve carefully run sharp knife around cake edges. Unmold onto serving plates, then remove waxed paper. Sprinkle with icing sugar if you want. It will go great with vanilla ice cream.
