Chocolate Lava Cake with Raspberry Coulis Drizzle
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 cup of powdered sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 6 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
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 eggs, and 2 egg yolks until well combined. Stir in the melted chocolate mixture. Fold in 6 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes, or until the sides are set and the centers are still soft.
- While the cakes are baking, prepare the raspberry coulis. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the seeds, then set aside.
- Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes, then invert them onto serving plates.
- Drizzle the raspberry coulis over the warm chocolate lava cakes and serve immediately. Enjoy the rich, gooey center with the tangy raspberry sauce!
