Ingredients
To make this five ingredient chocolate lava cake recipe, you will need:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
To make this five ingredient chocolate lava cake, preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a 6-inch cake pan with butter and set aside. Melt the chocolate chips and butter together in the microwave or in a double boiler. If you’re using the microwave, heat in 30 second increments and stir in between each increment until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add in the melted chocolate/butter mixture and whisk until combined. Next, add the flour and mix until just combined, being careful not to over mix. Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and bake for 20 minutes. The cake should be slightly undercooked when you take it out. Let cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a plate.
Once the cake is on the plate, use a spoon to scoop out the center of the cake, creating a “well” in the middle. This is where the lava will come out. Serve the cake immediately. The warm chocolate lava will ooze out as soon as you cut into the cake.
