Chocolate Lava Cakes

Adapted from a recipe (Chocolate Muck Muck Cake) by Bob Cody at allrecipes.com

• Ready In: 28 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 7  ounces  finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
• 14  tablespoons unsalted butter (1 3/4 stick)
• 1  pinch table salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 4  eggs
• 4  egg yolks
• 1 1⁄2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F Spray a 6-cup muffin tin (3" diameter cups) with non-stick spray.
2. Place chocolate, butter and salt in the top of a double boiler (or in a heatsafe bowl over a pot of boiling water). Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
3. In another bowl, beat vanilla, eggs and egg yolks. Add chocolate mixture, one spoonful at a time, whisking constantly, until the egg mixture is quite warm. Scrape egg mixture into chocolate mixture and whisk until fully blended. Stir in confectioner's sugar and flour; fold with spatula until just barely combined. Be careful not to over mix.
4. Divide batter evenly amongst 6 prepared cups. Bake in preheated oven 7-8 minutes (cake will appear underbaked and the center will be quite wet). Remove from oven and serve immediately.
