Quick & Delicious Molten Lava Cakes To Impress Your Man!

I got a craving for chocolate cake last night and dominos wouldn't deliver just chocolate cake so I made my own by adapting a recipe from food.com. It was super quick & easy!

Cooking time: 
15 mins to prepare, 15 to 20 mins in the oven.

Ingredients

• 110g (4 ounces) 70% dark choclate chocolate
  
• 120g (1/2 cup) unsalted or salted butter
  
• 2 large eggs
  
• 2 large egg yolks
  
• 60g (4 tablespoons) sugar
  
• 45g (3 tablespoons) self-raising flour
  
• Icing sugar

Recipe

1. Position rack in middle of oven and preheat to 220 degrees C (430 degrees F). 
2. Spray ramekins or oven proof mugs like I used with cake release spray.
3. Melt chocolate with butter in a heat proof glass bowl placed over a pot of boiling water. Remove from heat when fully melted. You can microwave if you want but I don't.
4. Beat eggs, yolks and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed in a deep bowl until thick and pale. It should take about 5 minutes. Pour egg mixture into chocolate mixture. Whisk in flour. Beat until smooth.
5. Pour batter into mugs/ramekins. Reduce oven to 200 degrees C (390 degrees F).
6. Place on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until cakes have risen and have a thin crust, sides are set and cakes are slightly jiggly in the centre; under baking is better than over baking if you like a soft centre. I like mine not to be gooeey so I baked for 20 mins.
7. Carefully invert each cake onto a serving plate and let sit for a minute. 
8. Dust tops with confectioners' sugar. Microwave frozen berries for a minute, pour onto side plate and serve immediately.

I know I did well because my husband's eyes lit up when I presented his cake and he said, "I'm a lucky man!" I can't argue with that :)
