Molten Chocolate Lava Cake
These things are so good, and so easy.
Molten Chocolate Lava Cake
4 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine
1 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
6 Tbsp. all purpose flour
1 to 2 Tbsp. butter for baking dishes
Preheat oven to 425ºF. Butter four 3/4 cup custard or soufflé dishes. Place on baking sheet.
Microwave chocolate and butter in a large microwaveable bowl on high for 1 minute, or until the butter is melted. Stir with a wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in powdered sugar until well blended. Blend in eggs and egg yolks with a wire whisk. Stir in flour. Divide batter among prepared custard cups.
Bake 13 to 14 minutes or until sides are firm but centers are soft. Let stand for 1 minute. Carefully run a small knife around the cakes to loosen, invert cakes onto dessert dishes. Serve immediately, top with powdered sugar or whipped cream.
