When life gives you lemons 🍋, make lemon lava cake! Trust me, it’s 🔥!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 ounces white chocolate, chopped
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Zest of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins or small oven-safe dishes with butter or cooking spray.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and chopped white chocolate. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the butter and chocolate are melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the lemon zest and lemon juice to the egg mixture, and whisk until well combined.
Gradually pour the melted butter and chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly until smooth.
Sift the flour into the batter and gently fold it in until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.
Remove the lava cakes from the oven and let them cool in the ramekins for a few minutes. Then, carefully invert each cake onto a serving plate.
Dust the tops of the cakes with powdered sugar for garnish, if desired.
Serve the lemon lava cakes warm, and enjoy the gooey, lemony center with each bite!
These lemon lava cakes are perfect for a special dessert, and they’re sure to impress your guests with their deliciously decadent flavor. Enjoy!
