Chocolate Lava Cake Ingredients You only need: Chocolate – I usually use semi sweet but have also used a combination of dark and milk chocolate. Use your favorite combo, just be sure to use a good quality of chocolate. You use 1/2 cup of chocolate. Powdered Sugar Flour Eggs Vanilla 6 oz. Ramekins How to Make Chocolate Lava Cakes Once you see how easy these are to make they are going to be on repeat at your house. Be sure and grease your ramekins well. This is my favorite baking spray. Melt your butter and chocolate on the stove top or in the microwave. If using the microwave, stir every 30 seconds to prevent burning. Add in eggs, powdered sugar and vanilla. Whisk to combine and then add in flour. Divide the mixture between the two ramekins. Bake at 425 degrees F for 12-14 minutes. After removing them from the oven allow them to sit for one minute in the ramekin. I usually take a sharp knife and gently loosen the cake around the edges to make sure it comes out nice and clean. You can eat the chocolate lava cake right out of the ramekin but it is much more fun to turn it upside down onto a small cake and remove it from the dish. That way when you cut into it the lava flows out! How Do You Serve Chocolate Lava Cake? There are several ways to serve it, you can serve just as it is and enjoy the chocolate cake and hot chocolate lava. To pretty it up a bit, I like to sift some powdered sugar over the top and serve it with some fresh berries. But my very favorite way to serve it is with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The warm cake and warm chocolate lava combined with the ice cream is the best!!But however you decide to serve it, I promise you , it will be delicious!
