Chocolate Lava Cake

Instructions

Special requirement: none

1. Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until well combined. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until smooth and glossy. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Grease individual ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly. Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate and gently lift to release the cake. Serve immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a dollop of whipped cream.
