– 1/4 cup (56g) Unsalted Butter – 3 oz (85g) Bittersweet Chocolate (semi-sweet/baking chocolate) – 1/4 cup (50g) Sugar granulated or light brown sugar – 1 Egg large – 1 Egg yolk large – 1 tbsp Flour All-purpose
**Instructions**
1. Preheat oven to 450F (425F Convection bake). Butter and flour 2x 8 oz ramekins (shaking off additional flour). Set aside. 2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and butter (Note: I recommend heating in 30s increments). Then stir melted chocolate with the butter. Set aside. 3. In a medium bowl and using an electric mixer, beat egg, egg yolk, salt, and sugar on high until pale and fluffy (~3 mins). Fold melted chocolate and flour into the egg mixture until homogenous, chocolate-y mixture forms. 4. Divide chocolate mixture amongst two ramekins. 5. Bake at 450F for ~13 min or until edges are set and they are still jiggly in the centre. Remove from oven and allow the lava cakes to cool for 1 minute in the ramekins. Gently loosen the edges of each ramekin with a knife and invert onto a plate. After a few seconds, unmold lava cakes from ramekins (Note: ramekin will be hot – be sure to use a towel/oven mitt to handle the hot ramekins). 6. Decorate with a dusting of icing sugar and berries, ice-cream, or whipped cream. Serve hot and enjoy!

Not only do I have all these ingredients (for once), this’ll be a great alternative to the ones I buy at the bakery. Thank you!
