Description
Delicious and indulgent cinnamon spiced chocolate lava cakes that are sure to impress your taste buds with their molten center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 120 g dark chocolate (minimum 60% cocoa), chopped
- 100 g unsalted butter, plus additional for greasing
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 60 g all-purpose flour
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C. Generously butter four 180 ml ramekins and dust them lightly with flour, removing any excess.
- Using a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and incorporate the whole milk.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, egg yolks, and powdered sugar together until the mixture becomes thick and pale.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whisked egg mixture until smoothly combined.
- Sift flour, ground cinnamon, and salt over the batter. Fold in these dry ingredients until just integrated.
- Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins.
- Bake in the oven for 11 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
- Allow to cool for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then invert each cake onto a plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve promptly, optionally accompanied by vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- Keep an eye on the cakes while baking to ensure the centers stay molten.
- Serve immediately for the best lava effect.
