A rich and decadent chocolate lava cake for two, with a molten center that oozes out when you cut into it. Perfect for a romantic dessert or a special treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 oz dark chocolate
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease two ramekins and dust with cocoa powder.
  2. Melt butter and chocolate together in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth.
  3. Whisk in sugar, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Fold in flour and salt until just incorporated.
  5. Divide the batter evenly between the ramekins.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
  7. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then invert onto plates and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Do not overbake—the center should remain molten.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
