Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes (5 Ingredients, 1 Bowl!)

Using just five key ingredients combined in one bowl, these individual cakes are baked until the edges set while the middle stays gooey, creating an indulgent dessert experience that highlights intense chocolate flavor and a contrast between soft cake and flowing filling.
