Chocolate Lava Cake (心太軟) @ 2:28 PM


I was inspired to make to make something chocolatey to satisfy my cravings while my computer died for a week. I ended up watching the food channel and saw an episode regarding the best chocolate desserts. I found this recipe off google, and thought it will be good for those out there who also would like to try this out. It is really easy to make and doesn't take a lot of time. Hope all of you enjoy it as much as I did.
Ingredients
(makes three 6-oz ramekin cakes)
- 100g dark chocolate (i.e. 70% cocoa chocolate, but if you would like your cake to be a litte sweeter, a less percentage of cocoa will do as well), cut to small cubes
- 100g unsalted butter, cut to small cubes
- 2 eggs
- 50g sugar
- 20g flour


To decorate (optional)
- icing sugar and small sieve
- berries
- vanilla ice cream


Additional tools needed
- spatula
- electric whisk (hand-held)
- oven safe ramekins (6-8 oz)


Directions
1. Melt dark chocolate and butter using a hot water bath or a double boiler (note: do not use direct stove heat or the ingredients will burn).
2. In a large bowl, use an electric whisk (you can whisk by hand too but it’s more tedious) to beat the eggs and sugar till the mixture turns pale and frothy. This will take a few minutes.
3. Pour melted chocolate/butter you prepared in step 1, into the egg mixture prepared in step 2. Stir in the flour. Use a spatula to mix everything evenly.
4. Grease your ramekins with some melted butter (so that the cake will come off cleanly when it is baked).
5. Fill the ramekin almost 3/4 full with the chocolate mixture and bake in a preheated oven of 180C (356F) for about 10 minutes.
*The cake is deliberately slightly undercooked so as to achieve its ideal consistency which is runny in the middle, but if you over-bake it, you will get a super moist chocolate cake which is yummy too.
6. When it is baked, remove ramekin from oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes. Use a spoon to gently loosen the edges. Carefully invert the cake onto serving plate.


**Serving suggestion: Use a sieve to dust icing sugar over the cake. Serve a scoop of vanilla ice cream and some berries at the side.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For poise, walk wtih the knowledge that you will never walk alone. People, even more than things have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed: never throw out anyone.
