Molten Chocolate Lava Cake is the ultimate indulgent dessert that chocolate lovers dream of.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk (or non-dairy milk for a vegan version)
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons vegan butter (for egg-free version)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Grease two 6-ounce ramekins with butter or cooking spray to ensure the cakes don’t stick.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually mix the melted chocolate and butter into the dry ingredients, followed by the milk.
  5. Pour the batter into prepared ramekins and bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is still soft.
  6. Cool for a few minutes, then flip the cakes onto a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
