👉 Molten Lava Cake
Ingredients:
- 100g butter
- 100g dark chocolate
- 150g light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 50g plain flour
- Cocoa Powder for dusting the moulds
🎄 Method:
- Heat oven to 200C. Butter 6 dariole moulds or basins and roll in some cocoa powder and place on a baking tray
- Put 100g butter and 100g chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of hot water (or alternatively put in the microwave and melt in 30-second bursts on a low setting) and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly for 15 mins
- Using an electric hand whisk, mix in 150g light brown soft sugar, then 3 large eggs, one at a time, followed by ½ tsp vanilla extract and finally 50g plain flour. Divide the mixture among the darioles or basins
- You can now either put the mixture in the fridge until you’re ready to bake them. Bake now for 10-12 mins until the tops are firm to the touch but the middles still feel squidgy
- Carefully run a knife around the edge of each pudding, then turn out onto serving plates and serve with single cream
