Chocolate Lava Cake
Report
This chocolate lava cake is everything you want in a molten lava cake – soft on the outside and super chocolately in the center. It’s an impressive and delicious chocolate dessert that’s surprisingly easy to make!

Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark baking chocolate (1 cup = 100 grams)
- 2 whole eggs
- 3 egg yolks
- 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup all purpose flour (sifted)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and spray six small ceramic or aluminum ramekins with non-stick spray.
- Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler on the stove top, then set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and egg yolks together then add powdered sugar and flour and mix well.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir the cooled, melted chocolate and butter into the egg, sugar and flour mixture. Stir until smooth.
- Pour batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until outside appears cooked. Center will be soft but not jiggly.
- Remove from oven, then run a knife around the inside edge of each ramekin, place a plate on top of the ramekin then flip over and carefully remove ramekin so lava cake is on the plate.
- Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar and grated chocolate if desired.
Notes
- Bake these right before you want to serve them. You really want to enjoy the gooey lava chocolate center and if they sit for a long time, you’ll love that molten chocolate center.
- Melt the chocolate on low heat so you don’t end up boiling or scorching the chocolate. No one likes scorching chocolate.
- Have ice cream already scooped in the freezer so you can add a scoop immediately when you serve the cakes. I like to scoop it out and put it in muffin tins for serving!
- Don’t over bake the chocolate lava cakes! Remove them from the oven and remove from the ramekins as soon as the outside is cooked.
- SERVING SIZE: You can either use 4" or 6" ramekins for this. If you use 4", you'll get 6 servings. If you use 6", you'll get 4 servings.
