This restaurant-quality molten lava cake features a spongey, moist cake with a hot, ooey-gooey chocolate center. It's perfect for chocolate lovers in your life.
Preheat oven to 400 °F (204 °C). Grease the inside of your 4 ounce ramekins with some cooking spray or take a pad of butter and rub it around on the inside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar until creamy.
Add in the eggs, one by one, beating after each egg.
Add in the flour and salt and combine until smooth.
Gently blend in your melted chocolate until just combined.
Divide batter evenly amongst your ramekins. I was able to make 5. You'll want to fill the ramekins 3/4 of the way. Put your ramekins on a baking sheet.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops of the cake no longer jiggle when you shake the pan lightly.
Let sit for 10 minutes then take a knife and go around the edge. They should pop out easily.
Lightly dust with powdered sugar on top before serving.
