It&#8217;s one of my favorite small batch recipes to date too (and that&#8217;s saying a lot given the number of times I&#8217;ve made my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/small-batch-chocolate-chip-cookies\/\">small batch chocolate chip cookies<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can mix everything up for these lava cakes in one bowl and enjoy them in less than 30 minutes.

Here&#8217;s everything you&#8217;ll need to make these molten lava cakes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Unsalted butter:&nbsp;<\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I recommend using unsalted butter since the amount of salt in salted butters can vary between different brands.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Semi-sweet chocolate:&nbsp;<\/strong>I typically use either Bakers or Ghirardelli chocolate bars. I like to buy a 4-ounce bar of semi-sweet chocolate and save&nbsp;it for whenever I want to make these lava cakes. You&#8217;ll only need 2-ounces, so just cut it in half and save the other half for later.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Powdered sugar:&nbsp;<\/strong>Be sure to use powdered sugar for this recipe and not granulated sugar. Granulated sugar won&#8217;t give you the same texture and the lava filling won&#8217;t be as smooth.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eggs:&nbsp;<\/strong>Note that this recipe calls for one whole egg and one egg yolk. You can save the egg white for breakfast the next morning or use it to make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/candied-pecans\/\">candied pecans<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/angel-food-cake\/\">angel food cake<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla extract:&nbsp;<\/strong>Use pure vanilla extract for the best flavor.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>All-purpose flour:&nbsp;<\/strong>Just 1\/4 cup of flour is all you need in this recipe. Make sure that you measure your flour correctly with the spoon and level method. If you&#8217;re not sure what that means, I have a blog post on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/how-to-measure-flour\/\">how to measure flour<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Instant espresso powder:&nbsp;<\/strong>I prefer using Medaglia d\u2019Oro or King Arthur espresso powder. The espresso powder just enhances the chocolate flavor in these cakes, it won&#8217;t make them taste like coffee. You may also replace it with instant coffee or omit it from the recipe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1

You do remove the lava cakes from the oven before the center is fully &#8220;set&#8221;, but it&#8217;s baked long enough to fully cook the eggs and make them safe to eat.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1707494207552\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I Make This Recipe in a Muffin Tin?\u00a0<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes, you can use a muffin pan instead of ramekins for this recipe!<br\/><br\/>Simply grease four cavities of a muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and divide the batter between each one. Bake at 425\u00b0F for 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges are firm, but the centers are still soft. Allow to rest for one minute before you invert the lava cakes onto a serving plate.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1707494217391\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I Prepare These Ahead Of Time?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Absolutely! After you fill the ramekins, cover them tightly with plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator for one to two days. <br\/><br\/>When you are ready to bake, place them on the counter and let them come to room temperature, then bake as directed.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1360\" height=\"2040\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Molten-Chocolate-Lava-Cakes-for-Two-3.jpg?resize=1360%2C2040&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A molten lava cake topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce on a white plate.

If you need to bring your eggs to room temperature quickly, place them in a bowl of warm water for 5 to 10 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure not to over mix the batter. You only want to mix in each ingredient until just combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I typically just spray my ramekins with nonstick cooking spray. However, if you&#8217;re worried about them sticking you can also lightly dust each ramekin with some cocoa powder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can top these with anything that you prefer. I personally love to add some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/no-churn-ice-cream\/\">no-churn ice cream<\/a> and <a
