Molten Lava Cake

Total Time: 15 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, melted
• 8 ounces semisweet chocolate or 8 ounces dark chocolate
• 100 g sugar
• 50 g flour
• 5 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 200-210°c (400°c). grease or butter ramekins. make sure you use a lot of butter/oil if you want to invert it onto a plate, otherwise it will stick.
• 2 melt the butter and chocolate together and mix. pour into a big bowl.
• 3 sieve in the flour and sugar and whisk.
• 4 add the eggs and continue to whisk. if you like a more cake-y texture, keep on whisking until it turns lighter.
• 5 pour into ramekins. it took up around 8 ramekins for me, but it really depends on the size.
• 6 bake for around 10 minutes. it's best to keep an eye on it just to make sure it doesn't overcook. if it does, it's just a really moist cake, good but not quite as satisfying.
• 7 serve with ice cream and strawberries. or banana. a good idea can be to chop fruit beside it and use the filling as a sort of fondue.
