Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- ramekins
Ingredients
- 4 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg Yolks
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 6 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
- Nonstick Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate and unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool for about 2 minutes.
- Whisk the powdered sugar into the chocolate mixture until smooth. Add the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt, and whisk until everything is well combined and glossy.
- Gently fold in the all-purpose flour with a spatula, mixing until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix - a few small streaks of flour are fine, as they will blend in.
- Spray four 6-oz ramekins generously with nonstick cooking spray, making sure to coat the bottoms and sides thoroughly. Divide the batter evenly among the ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F. Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each one for air circulation. Cook for 8 to 9 minutes, until the tops are set and slightly cracked but the centers still jiggle when gently shaken.
- Let the lava cakes rest in the ramekins for exactly 1 minute. Run a thin knife around the edges, then carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate. Tap the bottom gently and lift the ramekin away to reveal the cake. Serve immediately while the molten center is still flowing.
