Easy Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes

Melt chocolate and butter in a medium, heat-proof bowl over a pot of hot water. Once melted, remove bowl and set aside.

In a small bowl, mix together sugar, flour, cocoa powder and salt. Slowly sift dry ingredients into chocolate mixture. Beat on low using an electric hand mixer.

Add eggs and egg yolk and continue to beat until eggs are fully incorporated into mixture. Add vanilla extract. Beat on high for 3 minutes until batter is creamy. Chill batter in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

When ready to bake, preheat oven to 400ºF. Generously grease the bottom and sides of the ramekins (or muffin tray) with butter. Brush some cocoa powder inside the ramekin and shake off any excess powder.

Pour batter inside about ¾ high. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Gently invert each cake onto a plate. Sprinkle some icing sugar on top and garnish with some berries. Serve with a side of vanilla ice cream.
