Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes

Ingredients

• 4 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate
• 1/4 cup Unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 Large egg
• 1 Egg yolk
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 pinch Salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Grease two 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder or flour.

2. 2

   In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth.

3. 3

   Whisk in the powdered sugar until combined.

4. 4

   Add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Whisk gently until the mixture is smooth.

5. 5

   Fold in the flour and salt until just combined; do not overmix.

6. 6

   Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.

7. 7

   Bake for 12-14 minutes. The sides should be firm, but the center should still look soft and slightly jiggly.

8. 8

   Let cool for 1 minute, then run a knife around the edges and invert onto plates. Serve immediately.
