For an extra touch of elegance, dust the cooled cakes with a light coating of cocoa powder or confectioners' sugar before serving. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream to complement the richness of the chocolate. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate, such as dark chocolate with sea salt or milk chocolate, to customize the flavor profile.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) with the oven rack in the center position. Generously butter six 4-ounce ramekins, ensuring every nook and cranny is coated to prevent sticking.
02
StepIn a heatproof bowl (metal or glass) set over a saucepan of gently simmering water, combine the finely chopped chocolate and cubed butter. Stir frequently, using a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
03
StepIn the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and salt at medium-high speed until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color. This should take approximately 5 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low, then gradually pour in the melted chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
04
StepDivide the decadent batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet to ease transfer to the oven.
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until the edges of the cakes are set but the center remains soft and molten. This typically takes around 10 minutes. Keep a close eye on them to avoid overbaking.
06
StepAllow the lava cakes to cool in the ramekins for about 3 minutes before gently inverting them onto plates. Serve immediately, as the molten center is best enjoyed warm.
