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.

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup butter, cut into 8 pieces
6 ½ (1 ounce) squares semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 eggs, room temperature
⅓ cup white sugar
4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease and flour four 6-ounce ramekins.
  • Place chocolate and butter in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir frequently, scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching, until chocolate is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Combine eggs and sugar in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until pale and thick, about 5 minutes. Mix in melted chocolate, cocoa powder, and flour until combined. Pour batter into the prepared ramekins and place on a baking tray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the sides are set but the middle is still jiggly, 10 to 13 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Make sure the butter and chocolate are melted smoothly and evenly. You can do this by melting them in a microwave or over a double boiler.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense lava cake.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
  • Bake the lava cakes just until the edges are set and the centers are still molten. This will ensure that the cakes are cooked through but still have a gooey center.
  • Serve the lava cakes immediately with your favorite toppings, such as ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
