Lava Cake

Ingredients

6 ½ (1 oz) squares semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
½ cup butter, cut into 8 pieces
3 eggs, room temperature
⅓ cup white sugar
2 Tbs all-purpose flour
4 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 pinch salt

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease and flour four 6-ounce ramekins.
  2. Place chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
  3. Combine eggs and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until pale and thick, about 5 minutes. Mix in melted chocolate, flour, cocoa powder, and a pinch of salt until combined. Pour batter into the prepared ramekins and place on a baking tray.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until the sides are set but the middle is still jiggly, 10 to 13 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
