Chocolate Lava Cakes
Serves 4
1/2 cup (1 stick) of butter, plus more for buttering the molds
4 ounces of 70% Theo Chocolate, chopped into small pieces
4 large eggs
1/4 cup of sugar
2 teaspoons of flour, plus more for dusting the molds
Put the butter in a medium bowl and melt it in the microwave. Add the chocolate to the hot butter, and stir until melted.
Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, and add 2 more yolks. Add the the sugar and beat and whisk until light and thick, about 1 minute. Add the egg mixture and 2 teaspoons of flour to the melted chocolate, beat until combined.
Butter and lightly flour four 4 ounce molds or ramekins. Tap out the excess flour. Divide the batter among the molds.
When your ready to bake, preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Put the molds on a baking sheet and bake until the cakes have puffed up a bit, and the tops are set, but they are still slightly jiggly when shaken, 7-8 minutes. Take them out, and them let them sit in the molds for 1 minute.
Put a plate on top of the ramekin, invert it, and let it sit for 10-45 seconds. Lift up the ramekin.
Serve with whipped cream, ice cream, or just a plain big old spoon.
Isn't it cute?! :)
