Description
Indulge in the rich, decadent experience of cinnamon spiced chocolate lava cakes with a warm, gooey center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 120 g dark chocolate (minimum 60% cocoa), chopped
- 100 g unsalted butter, plus additional for greasing
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 60 g all-purpose flour
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Generously butter the four ramekins, then dust lightly with flour.
- Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and blend in the whole milk.
- Whisk together eggs, egg yolks, and powdered sugar in a separate bowl until thickened and pale.
- Fold the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until smooth.
- Sprinkle the flour, ground cinnamon, and salt over the batter and fold gently until just combined.
- Distribute the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 11 to 12 minutes. The edges should firm up while the centers remain soft.
- Cool the cakes for one minute, then gently loosen the edges with a knife and invert onto plates.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
Ensure ramekins are adequately greased and floured to prevent sticking. Bake until edges are set, but center remains gooey for best results.
