Ingredients
pieces
- 3 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 75 gram sugar
- 175 gram unsalted butter
- 175 gram dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 75 gram all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Extra butter and cocoa powder for preparing the ramekins
Equipment
- Hand mixer
- Food processor
- Large bowl
- Spatula
- 6 Ramekins
INSTRUCTIONS (how to make this recipe):
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius / 390 Fahrenheit top and bottom heat.
- In a large bowl with a hand mixer or food processor, beat the eggs and yolks with the sugar for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter, chocolate chips and vanilla extract au bain marie (or in a microwave with 10 second intervals).
- When the butter and chocolate have melted, take of the heat and carefully stir in the egg and sugar mixture.
- Finally, add the flour and baking soda until you have a nice batter.
- Grease the ramekins with a little butter and sprinkle some cocoa powder around the ramekins to make it easier to remove the cake after baking (I use cocoa powder because flour can leave a whitish film on the cake.) Pour the batter into the ramekins.
- Put the ramekins in the oven for about 13-14 minutes. Take them out of the oven, place a dish on top of the ramekins, turn them over and remove the ramekins. Repeat one by one.
- Serve with a little powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side, whipped cream and/or some fruit. Enjoy!
Good to know:
Tip: before the lava cake goes into the oven, press a little piece of dark chocolate into the centre for a bit of extra molten chocolate.
