Chocolate Lava Cakes
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Next, take two ramekins and lightly coat them with oil or cooking spray before setting them aside.
3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Heat in short bursts using your oven's high setting for 30 seconds, then stir the mixture and continue to heat in 15-second increments until it reaches a semi-melted state. Remove from the microwave and thoroughly stir the chocolate until it's fully incorporated and smooth.
4
Set the melted chocolate aside for a moment.
5
In another bowl, whisk together sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Pour this mixture into the chocolate mixture and blend until a smooth consistency is achieved. Add flour to the mix, stirring until everything is well incorporated.
6
Divide the batter evenly between both ramekins.
7
Place the ramekins in a preheated oven and bake until they're set, typically taking 12 to 14 minutes.
8
Once the ramekins are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
