Chocolate Lava Cake


YUM! This was the perfect recipe because I was able to size it down to make enough for just Dac and I. It was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S! Of course I will alter it a bit next time to make it even better, but it was great as is. And semi-healthy for you. I made it with spelt flour and agave. I actually might reduce the butter by about 1 Tbsp next time.

Such a simple recipe. Total time to make was about 20 minutes.

Next time I will probably add either a tsp of vanilla or amaretto. I will also make it with dark chocolate. I will also make either a strawberry or raspberry sauce to drizzle on top. Would be perfect with like a bite of vanilla ice cream to eat after wards to wash it all down with.


Recipe

Ingredients

3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (Next time I will do dark chocolate)
6 Tbsp butter (next time I will do 5 T)
2 Tbsp Agave nectar
1 1/2 eggs
2 Tbsp + 1/2 tsp spelt flour

In a double boiler melt the chocolate and butter. Meanwhile whisk together the agave and eggs. Beat quickly until frothy and almost white in color (about 5 minutes). Slowly drizzle the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Do not add all at once or you will scramble the eggs. Add the flour and mix only until incorporated. Butter the bottom and sides of ramekins. Pour mixture a little more than halfway up. Bake for 10-12 minutes (depends on your oven - mine took 12 minutes). Tops will look uncooked and the center will be gooey. If you do not want a super gooey center bake a little longer.
