I found this recipe on line and is adapted from Paula Dean’s Home Cooking
Molten Lava Cakes
10 Tbls butter
8 oz (1 cup) semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 lagre eggs
3 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
optional: 2 Tbls coffee liquor or coffee
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray 6 – 6oz custard cups, set aside. In a medium bowl, melt chocolate chips and butter either in micorwave or over a double boiler. Add flour and sugar to chocolate. Stir in the eggs and yolks until smooth. Add vanilla and coffee if desired.
Divide the batter evenly between the cups. Place cups on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes (I let them bake for 15 minutes) The edges should be firm but the center will be runny. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert into dessert plates or serve in the cup.
