Chocolate Lava Cake

This has to be the best dessert with the best chocolate. My uncle Joe makes the best organic fair trade chocolate in the whole world. It is called Theo Chocolate just to emphasize that. It is sooooo good and I use it in all of my desserts. Go buy it at Wegmans or None Such Farms or anywhere that you shop! It is soooo gooooooooooodddddddd and you won't regret buying it. Here is the recipe for chocolate lava cakes.

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?! :)
