Lots of lava love

This is a quick and easy take on a dessert that was very popular in the '90s. Use the best chocolate you can afford.

Lori K's Molten Mini Cakes

Ready in 30 minutes

Serves 8

6 oz 70% or more chocolate, in pieces 4 egg yolks

16 T butter, divided 1 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

4 eggs 3/4 cup all purpose flour

Preheat oven to 425. Melt butter in a 2 or 4 cup microwave-safe glass measuring cup, 

and remove 2 T to a small pinch bowl. Use the smaller amount to grease 

8 custard cups or ramekins. 

Add chocolate to the larger amount and stir until smooth and thoroughly mixed. 

Add the eggs and the egg yolks, mix thoroughly; then the sugar and flour and mix until smooth.

Place the cups on a rimmed baking sheet and fill. Put them all on one shelf in the middle 

of the oven and cook for 7-10 minutes. The outside of the cakes should raise slightly and look dry;

the middle should still be shiny. Do not overcook.
