Molten Lava Cake

Self cooking photograph

I find the oozing runny chocolate of this simple recipe very seductive especially when I dig into it.
Also known as chocolate decadence cake and chocolate fondant pudding.
baking chocolate	100g (dark chocolate)
butter	100g
egg	2
sugar	1/3 cup
all purpose flour	1/4 cup
Method:
Melt chocolate in a double boiler to make it smooth liquid.
(do not use direct stove heat, chocolate will burn).
Add butter when chocolate is completely melted.
In a deep bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with a blender till the mixture is frothy.
Now pour melted chocolate/butter into egg mixture and stir in the flour.
Mix well  with a hand blender or use a spatula.
Grease your ramekins/ baking bowls with butter or oil.
Pour batter in the bowls and fill almost 3/4 each because it will rise.
Bake in a preheated oven of 180C for about 10 to 13 minutes, depending on different types of oven.
Usually it gets done in 10 minutes but  mine takes exactly 12 minutes.
Let it cool for 1 minute when its baked.
Use a knife to gently loosen the edges and invert the cake onto serving plate.
Serve with vanilla ice cream on the side.
Serves 4 to 6.
Double Boiler: It’s a technique to cook delicate sauces or to melt chocolate. Upper small pan containing the substance(chocolate) to be cooked   and fill the lower bigger pan halfway with water.  The smaller one, when placed inside the bigger one, should not touch the bottom of the bigger one. Note: The consistency of the chocolate depends on the baking time. Note: No worries if you over-bake it, you will get a super moist chocolate cake instead.
