Chocolate Lava Cakes

Chocolate Lava Cakes
yield: 4 OR 6 CAKES prep time: 10 MINUTES cook time:  total time: 25 MINUTES


Ingredients:
6 ounces (170g) high quality semi-sweet chocolate1
1/2 cup (115g; 1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/2 cup (60g) confectioners' sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks2
optional for topping: ice cream, raspberries, and/or chocolate syrup

Special Equipment
four 6-ounce ramekins OR a 12-count muffin pan

Directions:
1. Spray each ramekin with nonstick cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder. This ensures the cakes will seamlessly come out of the ramekins when inverted onto a plate in step 7. *Or spray half of a 12-count muffin pan and dust with cocoa powder. If baking in a muffin pan, the recipe will yield 6 cakes.
2. Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C).
3. Coarsely chop the chocolate. Place butter into a medium heat-proof bowl, then add chopped chocolate on top. Microwave on high in 10 second increments, stirring after each until completely smooth. Set aside.
4. Whisk the flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt together in a small bowl. Whisk the eggs and egg yolks together until combined in another small bowl. Pour the flour mixture and eggs into the bowl of chocolate. Slowly stir everything together using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. If there are any lumps, gently use your whisk to rid them. The batter will be slightly thick.
