Caramel Molten Lava Cake with Sea Salt
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup caramel sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 whole eggs, and 2 egg yolks until well combined.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Add 6 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and gently fold until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce in the center of each ramekin and gently press it down. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the caramel in each ramekin.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool for 1 minute. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes, then invert them onto serving plates.
- Serve immediately, and enjoy the warm, gooey caramel molten lava cakes with a sprinkle of sea salt.
