Lava Cake

Ingredients

• 6 ½ , 1 ounce
• 0.5 cups butter , cut into 8 pieces
• 3 large eggs , room temperature
• 0.33 cups white sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 pinch salt

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour four 6-ounce ramekins.

2. 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. 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. 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.
