What's not to like about this? Chocolate? Check! Runny centre? Check! Rich exterior crust? Check! This is a molten cake where the crust hides a soft gooey centre of chocolatey goodness, the lava flow! Serve to friends and wait for their plates to be empty before their sigh of appreciation and request for your recipe! Read more I think it's important to use a top quality chocolate and good vanilla for this dessert. This is easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time and refrigerated prior to cooking. If so add a couple of minutes to oven time. Note: you can make it for two and keep two for the next day, as it's almost as good microwaved whole! See less
Ingredients
- 40g unsalted butter shopping list
- 100g sugar shopping list
- 200g dark chocolate (I use 85% cocoa for big flavour) shopping list
- 2 eggs shopping list
- Pinch salt shopping list
- 1tsp natural vanilla essence shopping list
- 40g plain flour shopping list
How to make it
- Cream butter and sugar together in a ceramic bowl
- Beat eggs with a pinch of salt
- Add eggs and vanilla to creamed butter/sugar and combine
- Add flour and fold in
- Melt chocolate. You could do this over a pan of water on the stove but I use the microwave
- Add chocolate to the rest of the mix
- Divide between 4 large ramekins. I use a muffin tray that holds six large muffins. Grease the muffin tray or ramekins beforehand with a little extra butter!
- Cook in a 200C / 400F oven for about ten minutes. Timing will vary according to individual oven.
- Turn out by running a knife around the edge to loosen and lift with a spatula and oven glove onto serving plate. Serve alone as it sauces itself, or add your favourite sorbet/ice cream on the side.
