Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes
Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes are a great for celebrating a special occasion or if you just want to indulge in something sweet and chocolatey. They’re perfect for many special occasions though, such as birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays like Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Plus, since they’re so easy to make you could serve them for more casual gatherings like dinner parties or movie nights with the family. No matter when you eat them, they’re super delicious!
Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400F.
- Step 2
Grease the inside of 4 8-ounce small ramekins with butter, dust with cocoa powder, and tap out any extra.
- Step 3
Place the 1/2 cup chocolate chips and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring, until melted and smooth.
- Step 4
Stir the sugar and flour into the chocolate mixture.
- Step 5
Add in the eggs and mix until smooth.
- Step 6
Pour the half batter into the four cups, place a few pieces of chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (this creates an extra chocolate lava explosion!) and then fill ramekins with remaining batter. They should be about 3/4 full. Place the baking ramekins on a baking sheet.
- Step 7
Bake for 14-16 minutes, until the top and edges are set, but center is still jiggly. Let cool slightly for 2-3 minutes in the ramekins.
- Step 8
Using a small knife, gently loosen the edges of the cakes from the ramekins. Invert onto a plate, tapping gently to release the cakes. Serve the cakes warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of chocolate sauce or whipped cream on top, if desired.
