Ingredients
Scale
For the Lava Cakes:
- 1 cup dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup finely chopped pistachios
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking.
- 2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Heat in short bursts (about 30 seconds), stirring in between until smooth.
- 3. Mix the Batter: In a separate bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, whole eggs, and egg yolks until frothy. Gradually incorporate the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Fold in all-purpose flour until just combined.
- 4. Add Pistachios: Gently stir in the finely chopped pistachios for that delightful crunch.
- 5. Fill the Ramekins: Pour the batter evenly into each prepared ramekin, filling them about three-quarters full.
- 6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until the edges are firm and the centers remain soft.
- 7. Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm for that perfect lava effect.
