Chocolate Lava Cake

An irresistible chocolate cake with a liquid center that literally melts in your mouth. Try this out. 

Ingredients: (serves four) 
6 oz. Semi-Sweet Baking Chocolate (or use your favorite 70% dark chocolate bar)
6 oz. Butter (diced, room temperature)
3 Eggs
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1/3 cup Flour
Butter for Ramekins (small glass oven proof bowls) 

Method:
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Melt chocolate on low flame in double boiler or in a microwave
- When melted, take of flame, and stir in diced butter, until it melts.
- In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar, until it starts to whiten.
- Stir in melted chocolate and then the flour.
- You can refrigerate this mixture and bake it just before you want to serve the dessert.
- Butter 4 individual ramekins, and pour in chocolate batter.
- Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes.
- Serve either upside down or as-is in the ramekins. Tastes great with vanilla ice cream or just by itself.
- Enjoy!
