Molten Lava Cakes

Ingredients

• 4 ounces Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 pinch Salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Grease two 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust with a little 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 egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is thick and glossy.

5. 5

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

6. 6

   Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared ramekins.

7. 7

   Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the sides are firm but the center still looks soft and slightly jiggly.

8. 8

   Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute, then carefully run a knife around the edges and invert onto dessert plates.

9. 9

   Serve immediately while the center is still molten.
