Flourless Chocolate Lava Cake

Ingredients

• 8 ounces 70% bittersweet chocolate , finely chopped
• 12 tablespoons unsalted butter , cold, cut into cubes
• 4 large eggs
• 0.5 cups white sugar
• 0.13 teaspoons salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) with oven rack in center position. Butter six 4-ounce ramekins.

2. 2

   Place chocolate and butter into a metal or glass bowl set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until melted. Remove from heat.

3. 3

   Combine eggs, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low; add chocolate mixture and beat until combined. Divide batter among the prepared ramekins; place on a baking sheet.

4. 4

   Bake until edges are set but center is underdone, about 10 minutes. Cool before serving for 3 minutes.
