Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Optional toppings: powdered sugar, fresh berries, whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Batter: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Whisk in the powdered sugar, eggs, egg yolks, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
- Prepare the Ramekins: Grease four small ramekins and divide the batter evenly among them.
- Air Fry: Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still jiggly.
- Serve: Let the cakes cool for a minute, then carefully invert them onto plates. Top with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or whipped cream, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use High-Quality Chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the lava cakes. Opt for a high-quality semi-sweet chocolate for the best flavor.
- Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the lava cakes as they cook. You want the edges to be set but the center to be gooey.
- Let Them Rest: Allow the lava cakes to cool for a minute before inverting them onto plates. This helps them hold their shape.
- Serve Immediately: These lava cakes are best enjoyed hot and fresh. Serve them right out of the air fryer for the ultimate indulgence.
