INGREDIENTS

• ¼ cup (31g) all-purpose flour
• 6 ounces (170g) high-quality semi-sweet chocolate
• 2 large eggs
• 2 large egg yolks
• ½ cup (60g) confectioners sugar
• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• Ice cream, chocolate syrup (optional)
  
  
  
  
  
  

PROCEDURE:

• Take half of a 12-count muffin pan and spray with non-stick cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder or take four 6-ounce ramekins, spray them, and dust with cocoa powder.
• Preheat the oven to 218°C (425°F) to make chocolate cake no cocoa powder.
• Chop the chocolate coarsely. In a medium-sized heat-proof bowl, put butter and then add chopped chocolate on top.
• Microwave on high in 10-second increases; stir the mixture after each until it is fully smooth. Set it aside.
• In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt. In another small bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolks together until combined. Pour the eggs and flour mixture into the bowl of chocolate.
• Stir everything together with a wooden or rubber spatula. The batter will be faintly thick.
• Spoon out chocolate batter equally into each prepared muffin cup or ramekin.
• Put ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the sides become firm and solid and the top will appear soft. If baking in a muffin pan, the cakes will take only about 8-10 minutes.
• Let them cool for 1 minute, and then cover each with an inverted plate and turn over. The lava cake without chocolate must release easily from the ramekin recipes.
• If using a muffin pan, use a spoon to liberate the chocolate lava cake without chocolate from the pan and place each side down on plates.

Top chocolate lava cake with desired toppings and serve immediately.
