Chocolate Lava Cake
Ingredients
  • 8 ounces 70% bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
  • 12 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Position the rack in the center of the oven for optimal heat distribution.
2
Butter six 4-ounce ramekins to create a non-stick surface for the dessert.
3
Combine the chocolate and butter in a heat-resistant bowl placed over a small amount of simmering water. Stir occasionally as the mixture warms and melts, taking care not to let it boil.
4
Remove the bowl from the heat source once the chocolate has fully incorporated and melted.
5
In a separate mixing vessel, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt until well combined.
6
Using a high-speed mixer, beat the egg mixture on medium-high speed for approximately 5 minutes, or until it becomes light and airy.
7
Reduce the mixer's speed to a lower setting and carefully add the melted chocolate, mixing until it is fully incorporated.
8
Spoon the dessert mixture into the prepared ramekins and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
9
Bake for around 10 minutes, or until the edges of the dessert are set but the centers remain slightly underdone.
10
Allow the desserts to cool for 3 minutes before serving.
