Ingredients:
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 6 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
– 2 eggs
– 2 egg yolks
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1/8 tsp salt
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/2 tsp ground ginger
– 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
– 1/4 tsp ground cloves
– Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
– Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Preparation:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 4-ounce ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and salt until light and fluffy.
4. Gradually pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until well combined.
5. Sift in the flour, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and cloves, and gently fold until just incorporated.
6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
7. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges of each ramekin, then invert the cakes onto serving plates.
8. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Serving Suggestion:
The Chai Chocolate Lava Cakes are best served warm so that the luscious molten chocolate center oozes out when you dig in. Pair it with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of flavors and textures.
