Have you ever craved something so rich, so delectable, that it feels like a hug for your soul? That’s what this Ultimate Molten Lava Cake is all about. Perfect for chocolate lovers, dessert aficionados, and those special moments that call for an extra touch of sweetness.
Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, a job well done, or simply the joy of being alive, this recipe is an ode to all things chocolate.
- 1 cup of high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- Powdered sugar and berries for garnishing
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Generously butter four ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and kosher salt. Add the eggs and egg yolks, whisking until smooth. Gradually fold in the melted chocolate mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft. Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 minute.
Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and let the cake release. Garnish with powdered sugar and fresh berries. Serve immediately for that perfect molten center.
