What could be better than a chocolate cake for dessert? How about a
chocolate cake that is served warm with a river of chocolate running
from it. Using dark chocolate makes this recipe for Molten Lava Cakes
better than any you can get in a restaurant.
Ingredients
- 5 - 6 ounces dark chocolate
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup flour
- Optional: Whipped or ice cream
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease four 4-ounce custard
cups. In double boiler, melt chocolate and butter. Stir in sugar. In a
small bowl, lighly beat eggs. Add some chocolate mixture to eggs to
temper eggs. Carefully, stir egg mixture into chocolate mixture. Add
flour and combine completely. Add batter to custard cups. Place on
baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Centers should be soft but sides
should be done.
Invert cups on individual serving plates. Remove cups after 2 minutes. Serve warm with whipped or ice cream.
