Decadent chocolate hazelnut lava cakes
Decadent chocolate hazelnut lava cakes
Ingredients
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons hazelnut spread
- for dusting confectioners' sugar
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Generously butter and lightly flour four 6-ounce ramekins. Place the prepared ramekins on a baking sheet.
⏱️ 5 min•🌡️ 400°F - 2
In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (creating a double boiler), melt the chopped semisweet chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring frequently until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
⏱️ 5 min - 3
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, large eggs, and large egg yolks until the mixture is light in color and slightly thickened, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
⏱️ 3 min - 4
Gradually whisk the slightly cooled melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture until they are well combined and smooth.
⏱️ 2 min - 5
Sift the all-purpose flour and unsweetened cocoa powder over the chocolate mixture. Gently fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a tough cake.
⏱️ 2 min - 6
Divide the batter evenly among the four prepared ramekins. Place 1 tablespoon of hazelnut spread directly into the center of the batter in each ramekin, gently pushing it down slightly.
⏱️ 2 min - 7
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges of the cakes are set but the centers are still noticeably jiggly when gently shaken. This indicates the molten center.
⏱️ 14 min•🌡️ 400°F - 8
Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven. Let them cool for just 1 minute on the baking sheet. Then, carefully invert each cake onto a serving plate. Dust generously with confectioners' sugar before serving immediately.
