Molten Lava Cakes
Ingredients:
- Non-stick cooking spray with flour
- ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ¼ tsp instant coffee powder
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp all-purpose flour
Instructions:
- Spray 2 (6-ounce) ramekins with cooking spray and place them on a baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- In a double boiler, combine the chocolate, butter, instant coffee, and vanilla. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a medium bowl, combine the salt, eggs, yolks, and sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat until light, fluffy, and pale in color.
- Reduce speed to medium-low and slowly pour in the chocolate mixture.
- Add the flour and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter between the ramekins and bake for about 12 minutes.
- Carefully remove from the oven, invert onto a dessert bowl or plate. The cake should retain its shape but be molten in the middle.
- Serve immediately.
- To make ahead, do not bake. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve, then follow baking instructions, adding an extra minute or two.
