Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • ¼ cup (2oz/57g) butter
  • ⅓ cup (2oz/57g) bittersweet chocolate ((chopped))
  • ¼ cup (2oz/57g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon instant coffee powder ((optional))
  • ¼ cup (1 ¼oz/35g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Butter two 6-ounce ramekins or oven-safe mugs and place on a baking sheet. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl add in the butter and chocolate and gently melt either in the microwave or over a ban-marie.
  • Once melted, whisk in the sugar, eggs, vanilla, and coffee until well combined.
  • Lastly, stir in the flour and salt and mix until just combined. Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared dishes.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes or just until there is a jiggle in the center and the edges are set. A soft center ensures lovely, lava on the inside.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to stand for 1 minute before carefully turning out each cake onto your serving dish. Enjoy straight away with some vanilla ice-cream.
