Valentine’s Molten Lava Cakes recipe at cooking4two.com or down below! Ingredients: – ¾ c chocolate chips – 4½ tablespoons unsalted butter – 1 large egg – 2 large egg yolks – ⅓cup granulated sugar -1 tablespoon brown sugar – ½ teaspoon vanilla extract – ⅛ tsp salt – 2 ½ all-purpose flour – Optional: powdered sugar, berries, or ice cream for serving Instructions: 1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Coat two 8 oz ramekins with butter and lightly dust them with cocoa powder or flour. 2. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the butter. Microwave until butter has fully melted then add in the chocolate chips. Stir until melted and smooth – microwaving in 5 second intervals if chocolate does not fully melt. Alternatively, you can melt them together using a double boiler on the stovetop. 3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, the two egg yolks, sugars, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. 4. Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until smooth. 5. Sift the flour into the chocolate mixture and fold gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. 6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins. 7. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 13-18 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. 8. Remove from the oven and let the lava cakes cool in the ramekins for 1-2 minutes. 9. Carefully run a knife around the edges of the cakes to loosen them, then invert them onto serving plates. 10. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve immediately, topped with berries or a scoop of ice cream. #foodforyou #mealsfortwo #cookingforyou #cookingfortwo #2024valentine #valentinesdessert
