Ingredients
Scale
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 ounces dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease four small ramekins thoroughly.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until fully combined.
- Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt just until the batter comes together.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chunks gently.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers remain soft.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 1 minute before serving warm.
Notes
- Do not overbake or the centers will lose their molten texture.
- Use room temperature egg for smoother batter.
- Serve immediately for the best lava effect.
