Molten Lava Cake Recipe

Ingredients

4 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs (separated)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375.

Melt chocolate and butter together, over double boiler (or take a pan of boiling water and place a bowl on top to melt them in together..and some might like to use a microwave).

After they have both melted, take off the heat and add 2 tablespoons sugar, beaten egg yolks, and vanilla. Mix together well.

In separate bowl beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar, beat about 2 minutes longer.

Fold in the egg whites into the chocolate until just combined.

Grease 4 ramekins (6 ounces) and place on baking sheet.

Divide batter between the ramekins and bake for about 22-25 minutes.

Serve Warm.
