"description": "A molten chocolate centre that flows like actual lava when you cut into it. Dramatic, impressive, and takes exactly 12 minutes to bake. The dinner party flex of all time.",
"ingredients": [
"150g dark chocolate (70%), chopped",
"100g butter",
"2 eggs",
"2 egg yolks",
"80g caster sugar",
"30g plain flour",
"1 tablespoon cocoa powder, for dusting",
"1 teaspoon vanilla extract",
"1 pinch salt"
],
"instructions": [
"Butter 4 ramekins generously and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess. Pop them in the fridge while you make the batter.",
"Melt dark chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over barely simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.",
"In a separate bowl whisk eggs, egg yolks, and caster sugar together until pale, thick, and ribbony — about 3-4 minutes. Add vanilla extract.",
"Pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and fold gently. Sift in flour and salt and fold until just combined — do not overmix.",
"Divide batter evenly between the prepared ramekins. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours if prepping ahead.",
"Preheat oven to 200°C / 400°F. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centre still has a wobble. Run a knife around the edge, place a plate on top, flip, and serve IMMEDIATELY."
