Molten Lava Cake for 2

This cake is still gooey in the center and is really yummy. It is a lighter dessert than you would think too. Next time I am using milk chocolate chips to make it a little sweeter.

Molten Lava Cake for 2

Ingredients

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, plus a little more for the ramekins

1 Tbsp. flour, plus a little more for the ramekins

1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips*

1 Large egg plus

1 Large egg yolk

2 Tbsp. granulated sugar

Directions

1. Heat oven to 450F. Butter two 6-oz ramekins and dust the inside with flour.

2. Place the butter and chocolate in a glass bowl and microwave on high in 20-second intervals, stirring after each use, until melted and smooth.

3. Using an electric mixer, beat the egg, egg yolk and sugar in a medium bowl until thick and lighter in color, about 1 minute. Add the melted chocolate mixture and flour and beat until fully incorporated and smooth.

4. Divide the batter between the prepared ramekins. Bake until the edges are set and center still jiggles slightly, 8-10 minutes. Let stand for 15 seconds. Run a knife around the edge, and then invert each cake onto a plate. Dust with confectioner’s sugar and serve with fresh mint or berries, if desired. Serve immediately. (Or serve with chocolate syrup and ice cream)

Make-Ahead tip: Refrigerate the batter in the ramekins for up to 1 day. Before baking, bring to room temperature.

*Recipe calls for bittersweet chocolate chips, I used semisweet, and I plan on using milk chocolate chips next time.

The original recipe I have says to bake it for 9-10 minutes, but mine took longer.
