Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate chips
- 8 ounces unsalted butter
- 6 eggs
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Butter the bottom and sides of 12 muffin tins or 15 4-ounce ramekins. (Please use additional butter for this step.)
- Sprinkle with sugar, tapping to remove extra sugar. (Please use additional sugar for coating the muffin tins in this step.)
- In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter; whisk until thoroughly melted.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar and flour until just blended. Gradually whisk the chocolate into the egg mixture until combined.
- Evenly divide the mixture between the prepared muffin tins or ramekins, using about 1/3 cup for each.
- If using ramekins, place them a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes until the tops are firm and beginning to crack and the edges are set.
- Remove from oven. If using ramekins, add a generous scoop of ice cream on top of each lava cake and serve. If using muffin tins, carefully pop up each cake with a fork and transfer to a serving plate, serve with ice cream.
- Optionally, drizzle with chocolate syrup before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
There will be a little extra mixture left if using muffin tins. You may finish off the extra in a ramekin. Recipe adapted from Food.com
