Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons 7 Star Cake Flour
Method
- Preheat the oven to 450F and prepare 6 ramekins by greasing them with butter and lightly dusting them with flour. Place them on a baking sheet.
- In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together until smooth. Stir until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and salt until thick and pale yellow.
- Fold the melted chocolate mixture and flour into the egg mixture until well combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
- Bake the cakes for 6 to 8 minutes until the edges are set but the centre is still jiggly. Allow them to cool in the ramekins for 1 minute.
- Place a small dessert plate over each ramekin and carefully invert the cake onto the plate. Let it sit for about 10 seconds, then remove the ramekin to unmold the cake.
- Dust the cakes with powdered sugar and garnish with berries, if desired.
- Serve the Chocolate Lava Cakes immediately and enjoy the delicious, molten centre!
