These single-serving Dark Chocolate Lava Cakes are the ultimate impressive yet quick dessert. The key to the molten center is the precise baking time, which allows the outer edges to set while the center remains a gloriously rich, liquid dark chocolate puddle. Using high-quality dark chocolate is essential for an intense, sophisticated flavor. Served warm with a dusting of powdered sugar and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, they provide a restaurant-quality experience at home.

Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Grease two 6-ounce ramekins and dust generously with cocoa powder or flour.
2
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat or in 30-second bursts in the microwave until completely smooth. Let cool slightly.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the whole egg, egg yolk, and sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
4
Fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined.
5
Divide the batter between the two prepared ramekins. Bake for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still look soft and wobbly.
6
Let cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Serve immediately with powdered sugar.
