Ingredients
Chocolate Mixture
- 4 oz white chocolate
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
Batter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free flour
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Additional
- ½ cup fresh raspberries
- Powdered sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Ramekins: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease two ramekins well to prevent sticking.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, gently melt the white chocolate and unsalted butter together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Mix Eggs and Sugar: In a separate bowl, whisk the two large eggs with the sugar until the mixture becomes slightly thick and pale.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the melted chocolate and butter mixture along with vanilla extract to the egg mixture, stirring thoroughly to create a smooth batter.
- Add Flour: Gently fold in the gluten-free flour, taking care not to overmix to preserve the batter’s light texture.
- Fill Ramekins: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Add Raspberries: Place a few fresh raspberries in the center of each batter-filled ramekin, gently pressing them in slightly.
- Bake: Bake the ramekins in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and molten.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from oven and let the cakes rest for 1 minute. Then carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate to release the lava cake.
- Garnish and Enjoy: Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with additional raspberries or whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the molten center.
Notes
- Serve the cake immediately to enjoy the molten white chocolate center at its best.
- Optional garnishes include extra fresh raspberries or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence.
- Ensure not to overbake to maintain the gooey lava core.
