MOLTEN LAVA CAKES - GLUTEN FREE
These are super yummy! You can make them with regular flour if your not G/F! I personally like to bake mine so they are not as soft in the middle but it's a personal choice! I don't always include the 2nd egg yolk and they turn out fine. I love that this recipe makes 2 large or 3 medium cakes! These are my ultimate splurge!

Steps:
- 4- 6 ounce ramekins or creme brulee dishes.
- Melt the chocolate & Butter together in a double boiler. In the meantime, whisk together the rest of the ingredients in a separate bowl. Prepare the ramekins by covering the insides with a thin film of butter, then add enough white sugar to coat the film of butter. Remove excess sugar.
- When the chocolate and butter have melted, pour them into the egg mixture and whisk together. The batter will thicken as you whisk it together. Fill the ramekins 3/4 full, leaving enough room for the cake to raise. Because this desert is served straight out of the oven, refrigerate until just before you need them. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and then put them in on a cookie sheet or tray.
- You'll want to under bake them so that the center stays soft. If you've refrigerated them beforehand, it will take a little longer, about 15 to 20 minutes. If you are baking them right away, 10 to 15 minutes should do it.
- Check them every 5 minutes or so, and more often near the end. You don't want to overdo it, because then the center isn't soft and runny.
- To serve, gently invert the ramekin onto a plate and dust with powdered sugar. Vanila ice cream goes really well with this rich chocolate dessert.
- You can use any 6 ounce oven ware containers to make these if you don't have ramkins.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The type of chocolate used significantly impacts taste, so choose high-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate.
- Melt chocolate and butter slowly: This will help prevent the chocolate from seizing and ensure a smooth texture.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can create a dense cake, resulting in a less molten center.
- Bake the cakes in individual ramekins: This will help ensure that each cake cooks evenly.
- Let the cakes cool slightly before serving: This will allow the cakes to set slightly and prevent the center from oozing out when you cut into them.
Conclusion:
These delicious molten lava cakes are a perfect treat for any occasion. With their rich chocolate flavor and gooey molten center, they are sure to please everyone. Whether you are a gluten-free eater or not, these cakes are a must-try.
