**Flourless Lava Cake**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 large egg yolks
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Optional: powdered sugar or vanilla ice cream for serving
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease four ramekins with butter. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and set them aside.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until well blended.
4. Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and whisk until smooth and fully combined.
5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 of the way full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
7. Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges of each cake to loosen it from the ramekin.
8. Place a dessert plate on top of each ramekin and carefully invert the cake onto the plate. The lava cake should release easily.
9. Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream while still warm.
10. Enjoy the Flourless Lava Cakes immediately for the best gooey lava effect!
