Easy Chocolate Lava Cake: A Simple Recipe for a Soft Cake with a Molten Center
Perfect for a decadent chocolate dessert.
Ingredients
– Chocolate: 200g
– Butter: 100g
– Eggs: 3
– Sugar: 100g
– Flour: 50g
– Salt: 1 pinch
– Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
Preparation
Total Time: 40 minutes
– Prep Time: 15 minutes
– Cook Time: 25 minutes
Steps
1. **Melting the Chocolate**
Break the chocolate into pieces and melt it with the butter using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between. Continue until you achieve a smooth and glossy texture.
2. **Preparing the Batter**
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. Mix in the cooled melted chocolate, then gently fold in the sifted flour, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir just enough to combine without overmixing.
3. **Baking the Cake**
Pour the batter into a buttered and floured baking pan. Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 20 to 25 minutes. The center of the cake should still wobble slightly when shaken; this is the key to its fudginess.
4. **Serving**
Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before unmolding. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of fresh cream. The center should remain soft and gooey.
