Chocolate Lava Cakes for Two

These chocolate lava cakes are rich, cozy, and made just for two. Warm, tender edges with a soft, molten center make them feel special without being complicated. Perfect for a quiet dessert night at home.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Butter two 6-oz ramekins and lightly dust with flour.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
3. Whisk the powdered sugar into the warm chocolate mixture until fully combined.
4. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and glossy.
5. Gently fold in the flour and salt just until combined.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Let rest 1 minute, then serve warm.

Tip: For easy release, run a knife around the edges before turning out, or serve straight from the ramekins.

Enjoy these warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or fresh berries, and keep this recipe saved for your next sweet moment together.
