Chcolate Molten Lava Cake

Hey there! Today we’re going to make Lava Cake also known as Molten Chocolate Cake or Chocolate Fondant, whatever the name you choose, the deliciousness is as great. Basically, it’s a slightly under-cooked chocolate cake; the outside is dense while the inside has a gooey consistency and when you break it open the chocolatey lava melts out, hence the name. 
So let’s get cooking! 

You’ll need:

(for 6 persons)

• 200g dark chocolate
• 100g butter (at room temperature) 
• 100g sugar
• 100g flour
• 25g cocoa powder
• 3 eggs
• some extra butter and sugar for the ramequins

Let’s start:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and prepare your ramequins (or aluminium muffin tins) by greasing them with butter and dusting them with sugar.
2. Melt the chocolate using the microwave or over a bain-marie and let it aside.
3. Using a whisk mix the butter and sugar until well combined. Then, add the eggs one at a time mixing well in between each.
4. Sift in the flour and cocoa powder and mix well. Then, add the melted chocolate and stir again until well combined.
5. Pour the mixture into the ramequins and bake them for 12 minutes, until the edges are firm and the centre is still soft. 
6. Finally, let the cakes cool for few seconds then run a knife around the edges of the cakes to loosen them and invert onto your serving plates.
   They’re best served hot with a scoop of your favourite ice cream. You can get creative with decoration or just keep it simple.

Thank you for stopping by and I really hope you'll give this recipe a try!
