Chocolate Lava Cake


I had my first bite of this cake at the Cheesecake Factory years ago.I remember it was served with vanilla ice cream yuuuuummm! So easy to fall in love with this warm-melted chocolate cake. Then I soon found out,this cake has some other cute names ;) Molten Chocolate Cake or just simple Chocolate Melted ^_^

I, now, like to serve it with refined sugar on top and mint ice cream ^_^

Ingredients (4 people):

6 oz. Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate (or use your favorite 70% dark chocolate bar)
6 oz. Butter (diced, room temperature)
3 Eggs
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1/3 cup Flour

Serve with:
refined sugar, mint/vanilla ice cream, crème Anglaise (English Cream) raspberry sauce. Whatever you like. My favorite is with ice cream!

How to:

Preheat oven to 350°F
1. Melt chocolate on low flame in a bain-marie (double boiler).
2. Stir in diced butter, until it melts.
3. In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar, until it starts to whiten.
4. Stir in melted chocolate and then the flour.
5. Butter 4 individual ramekins, and pour in chocolate batter.
6. Bake for about 15-20 minutes(depend on the oven and how you like it to be)
7. Tip ramekins upside down onto dessert plates and serve.
Enjoy!
