Chocolate Lava Cake with Vanilla Ice Cream
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 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
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, combine 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 4 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 eggs, 2 egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
- 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 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 onto serving plates.
- Top each cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and serve immediately.
