Decadent Chocolate Lava Cakes with a Heart of Gold
Hey there, chocolate lovers! If you’re anything like me, you’re always looking for a way to sprinkle some chocolate magic into your life without spending hours in the kitchen or breaking the bank. That’s why I’m excited to share with you my go-to recipe for Decadent Chocolate Lava Cakes with a Heart of Gold. Perfect for busy weeknights, special celebrations, or just because you deserve a treat—these little pots of deliciousness are as satisfying to make as they are to eat.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup high-quality dark chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Cocoa powder or powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate chips together in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until light and thick. This is where the magic happens!
- Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then add in the vanilla extract, flour, and salt. Gently fold until well combined.
- Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes until the edges are firm but the center remains soft. The perfect balance, right?
- Remove from the oven and let them sit for a minute before carefully inverting each onto a plate.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar or cocoa powder for a touch of pizzazz.
- Dig in quickly to enjoy the warm, gooey center!
