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.

Steps:
- Coat the inside of 4 1-cup (125 G) ramekins with softened butter, then sprinkle with the granulated sugar, tilting to coat completely. Set aside on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Heat the heavy cream in a small pot until boiling.
- Pour the boiling cream over ½ cup (120 ml) dark chocolate in a small bowl and let sit for 3 minutes. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the remaining ¾ cup (170 G) chocolate and the butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until completely melted.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until light and frothy, about 8 minutes.
- Gently fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, being careful not to deflate the eggs. Add the flour and fold to incorporate.
- Divide half of the batter between the prepared ramekins. Add ½ tablespoon of the chilled ganache to the center of each ramekin, then scoop the remaining batter on top.
- Bake for 12 minutes, until the tops are set and the cakes begin to pull away from the sides of the ramekins.
- Let the lava cakes cool slightly, then invert onto plates. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with berries. Serve immediately.
- Enjoy!

CHEF JOHN'S CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE
Legend has it that this dessert was the result of a major catering disaster. The dessert for this particular event was to be individual chocolate cakes, but someone took them out of the ovens too soon and the centers were not cooked enough and still liquefied. Well, there was no time to take them off the plates and bake them more, so the chef simply had his wait staff introduce the dessert as Chocolate 'Lava' Cake! Brilliant!

Steps:
- Prepare your cake mix as directed on box. Prepare a bundt cake pan with cooking spray.
- Bake as directed. Let you cake cool just a little -- you want to serve it warm. Now, if you want to be really creative, you can slice your cake so that you can fill it with the white morsels that you will be melting. We haven't worried about being that creative yet.
- So we melt the white morsels in the microwave just enough to warm them, stir them & spread over each cake slice. Scoop your desired amount of ice cream (we like Publix vanilla) & place it on your cake slice. Drizzle with Raspberry sauce & if you like, you can use a vegetable peeler & grate some vanilla bark to sprinkle over the top. Enjoy!
- You can use your judgement on the white morsels, vanilla ice cream, raspberry sauce & vanilla bark to suit your taste.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The chocolate is the star of this dish, so use the best quality chocolate you can find. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60%.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use a silicone mold: Silicone molds are non-stick and make it easy to remove the cakes from the mold.
- Bake the cakes at a high temperature: The high temperature will help the cakes to rise quickly and create a molten center.
- Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before serving: This will help the cakes to set and prevent the molten center from spilling out.
- Serve the cakes with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and fresh berries.
Conclusion:
Chili chocolate lava cakes are a delicious and decadent dessert that are perfect for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and molten center, these cakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give chili chocolate lava cakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
