Shae's Birthday Lava Cake

Found some spare time to share the Molten Lava Cake Shae wanted for her birthday celebration.  These are popular at restaurants for a premium dessert price. They are so simple and easy to make at home.  Got our monthly Parrot Head meeting tonight at The Ticket- can't wait.  Maybe it will help me feel better about this nasty weather we've been having. 

Molten Lava Cakes

4 squares of Baker's Semi Sweet Baking Chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
6 TBSP flour

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  Butter 4 (3/4 cup) custard cups or ramekins.  Place on a baking sheet.
Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on high for 1 minute or until butter is melted.  Stir with wire whisk until chocolate is completely melted.  Stir in sugar until well blended.  Whisk in eggs and egg yolks.  Stir in flour.  Divide batter between prepared custard cups.  Bake 13 to 14 minutes or until sides are firm but centers are soft.  Let stand one minute.  Carefully run small knife around cakes to loosen.  Invert cakes onto dessert dishes.  Serve immediately - get creative : top with whipped cream, ice cream, crushed graham crackers, marshmallow creme, etc.

Jamie's comments: When I ate it the lava cake the chocolate was like Lava-oohy gooey and running out the side like a volcano. School is going great. Taks test coming up. Writing and Revising and Editing CBA's today.  I think I did good. Today I got three mints at school, I love peppermints.Do you like chocolate?Then this was the best recipe for you because it has chocolate in the middle and chocolate on the outside.Bye!
