This lava cake is amazinggg :) my first time making it & I'm so glad I picked this recipe lol. It's super simple & tastes gorgeous.

I made mine in a large muffin tin that cooks 6 at a time - it worked fine :) The review that said it didn't turn out as lava cake most likely overcooked it. I kept an eye on mine to ensure the top was cooked enough to hold the lava & that I didn't cook it right through.
Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease 3 x 7-8cm round ramekins with a little butter.
Melt the butter and chocolate together using either a microwave (on a low power setting) or a bain-marie.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the eggs and sugar together until pale and frothy.
Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Add flour and use a spatula to mix until combined.
Fill the ramekins approximately two thirds to three quarters full with the cake mix and bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes. The cake should still be a little wobbly on top (it is deliberately under-cooked to achieve the runny, lava centre).
Leave to cool for 1-2 minutes, then use a butter knife to loosen the edges. Tip each cake upside-down onto a plate and tap lightly on the bottom of the ramekin - the cake should fall out onto the plate.
Dust with cocoa powder, if desired, top with a scoop of ice cream and devour immediately!
I'm really excited about doing this for my school project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
