Oh my goodness, girlfriends! Let me tell you about this absolutely divine dessert that’s been making everyone in my household fight over the last piece. I’m talking about my Salted Caramel Chocolate Lava Cakes that are literally to die for! 💁♀️
Listen, we all have those moments when we need something decadent and chocolatey, right? This recipe is perfect for those “treat yourself” afternoons when you want to feel fancy without spending hours in the kitchen. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you later!
Here’s what you’ll need:
– 4 oz dark chocolate (the good stuff, ladies!)
– 1/2 cup butter
– 2 whole eggs + 2 egg yolks
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– Store-bought caramel sauce (because who has time to make it from scratch?)
– A pinch of sea salt
– Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional, but like… is it really?)

Let’s get cooking:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (because we’re not savages who guess temperatures).
1. Grease 4 ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder. This is crucial unless you want your cakes stuck forever!
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and butter together in 30-second intervals. Stir until smooth and silky (kind of like your hair after a fresh blowout).
1. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until light and fluffy. Don’t skimp on this step – your arm workout for the day is sorted!
1. Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Add flour and stir until just combined. Don’t overmix – we’re making lava cakes, not bread!
1. Fill each ramekin halfway, add a spoonful of caramel sauce, then top with remaining batter.
1. Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges are set but centers are still jiggly (yes, that’s a technical term in my kitchen 💁♀️).
1. Let cool for 1 minute, then invert onto plates. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve with ice cream.
Y’all, when you cut into these babies and that warm chocolate and caramel starts oozing out… it’s literally heaven on a plate! Perfect for impressing your guests or, let’s be real, eating alone while binge-watching your favorite show. No judgment here!
