Yields 4 individual lava cakes

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup (116g or a little over 1.5 bars) Beyond Good 80% Pure Dark Chocolate, Chopped

  • 20 Squares (2/3 of a bar) Beyond Good 70% Pure Dark Chocolate

  • 8 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

  • 1/3 Cup (40g) All Purpose Flour

  • 1/4 Cup (25g) Powdered Sugar

  • 3 Eggs

  • 3 Egg Yolks

  • 1 Teaspoon Beyond Good Pure Vanilla Extract

  • Cocoa Powder, to Dust

Instructions

  1. Grease four ceramic ramekins with butter, dust with cocoa powder, then refrigerate until use

  2. Preheat oven to 425F

  3. Melt the chopped 80% chocolate and butter together in double boiler. (If you’d prefer to microwave, use a heat safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments, stirring between each)

  4. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar and chocolate butter mixture

  5. Once combined, whisk in the eggs and yolks until smooth, then whisk in the vanilla extract

  6. Take the ramekins out of the refrigerator and divide the batter evenly among them.

  7. Tuck 5 squares of 70% chocolate into the center of the batter in each ramekin.

  8. Bake for 15 minutes. The top and edges should be firm, while the melted chocolate inside should be runny

  9. Cool out of the oven for 1 minute, then place a plate on top and invert to turn the cake out

  10. Serve on its own or garnished with berries, whipped cream, powdered sugar, or ice cream. Enjoy warm!
