Recipe: Molten Chocolate Lava Cake

Molten Chocolate Lava Cake

Courtesy of AllRecipes.com

1 cup unsalted butter or unsalted margarine

8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, or bars, cut into bite-size chunks

5 large eggs

1/2 cup sugar

Pinch of salt

4 teaspoons flour 

8 extra-large paper muffin cups (or use 4 ramekins)

1 (6-ounce) container rasberries

1/2 cup confection sugar 

Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees F and adjust oven rack to middle position. Melt butter and chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water; remove from heat. Beat eggs, sugar and salt with a hand mixer in a medium bowl until sugar dissolved. Beat egg mixture into chocolate until smooth. Beat in flour until combined.*

Spray muffin papers, or ramekins, with vegetable cooking spray. Fill 4 ramekins or 8 extra-large muffin papers with chocolate mixture, about 3/4 of the way. 

Bake until batter puffs but center isn't set, about 8-10 minutes. Carefully lift cakes from tin and pull paper lining off of cake, or serve in the ramekin (as shown above). Top each cake with sifted confection sugar and a couple of rasberries. ENJOY!

*The great part about this recipe is that you can make it in advance! Just refrigerate and return mixture into room temperature an hour before baking!
