Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, roughly chopped
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus 1 tablespoon, melted
1/4 cup sugar, plus more for coating the ramekins
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 large eggs, plus 2 large egg yolks
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Brush four 6-ounce ramekins with the melted butter and sprinkle lightly with sugar. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
  • Combine the chocolate and butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each with a rubber spatula until completely melted and smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes total. Add the vanilla, espresso powder and salt into the chocolate mixture and stir to combine.
  • Add the eggs, egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium-high until fluffy and pale, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
  • With the mixer on low, add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, mixing until just combined. Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and gently fold in the flour using a rubber spatula.
  • Divide the batter equally among the 4 prepared ramekins. Bake until the sides are firm but the centers are still soft, 12 to 14 minutes. (A cake tester inserted into the center of each cake should not come out clean.) Do not overbake.
  • Let the cakes cool for 1 minute. Invert onto serving plates and serve warm.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 teaspoons graham cracker crumbs
1 cup butterscotch chips (6 oz)
2/3 cup butter or margarine
3 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450°F. Spray bottoms and sides of 6 (6-ounce) custard cups with baking spray with flour. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon cracker crumbs onto bottom and around side of each cup.
  • In 1-quart saucepan, melt butterscotch chips and butter over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat whole eggs and egg yolks with wire whisk or egg beater until well blended. Beat in brown sugar. Beat in melted butterscotch mixture and flour until well blended. Divide batter evenly among custard cups. Place cups on cookie sheet with sides.
  • Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until sides are set and centers are still soft (tops will be puffed and cracked). Let stand 3 minutes. Run small knife or metal spatula along sides of cakes to loosen. Immediately place individual dessert plate upside down over top of each cup; turn plate and cup over. Remove cup. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the flavor of your lava cakes. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cocoa solids and has a rich, dark flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the lava cakes tough and dense. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the batter before baking: Chilling the batter before baking will help the lava cakes to set properly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Bake the lava cakes at a high temperature: Baking the lava cakes at a high temperature will help to create a crispy outer shell and a molten center.
  • Serve the lava cakes immediately: Lava cakes are best served immediately after they are baked. This is when the center is still molten and gooey.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch lava cakes are a delicious and decadent dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect lava cakes every time.
