Chocolate Lava Cake
Disneyland Resort, Disneyland
Servings: 36 cakes Preparation Time: 10 min Cooking Time: 5 min
6½ ounces good quality dark chocolate
7/8 cups unsalted butter
5 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided use
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Bring a saucepan of water barely to a simmer. Place the chocolate and butter in a bowl or pan over the pan of water. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is melted. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and ¼ cup of sugar together until thickened slightly and lighter in color. Whisk in the flour, then the chocolate mixture. Place the egg whites in a separate, metal bowl and place over hot water until warmed slightly. Add 1 tablespoon of sugar and whip with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form.
Gradually add 1½ tablespoon more sugar while beating. Turn the speed to high and add the last 1½ tablespoon sugar and whip until the mixture forms stiff peaks. Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg whites. Divide the mixture among 6 ramekins. Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in preheated oven about 9-10 minutes.
When completely cooked, the tops should be puffed and feel firm to the touch, but are very liquid in the center.
