Chocolate Lava Torta w/ steps and recipe
Chocolate Lava Torta Recipe:
Eggs, whole - 4
Sugar, white - 180g
Salt - 2g
Vanilla Extract - 10g
Butter, melted - 150g
Dark Chocolate, chopped (or chips so long as the cacao percentage is 60-70%) melted into butter - 190g
Flour - 4 tablespoons (40g)
Preheat oven to 400F (200C)
Melt butter and chopped chocolate together in the microwave or over the stove until smooth. Set aside to cool.
Beat eggs, vanilla, salt, and sugar together until doubled in volume - not white but like a pale yellow. Not exactly aerated.
Mix in the combined melted butter and chocolate until thoroughly mixed.
Fold in flour.
Pour into an 8 inch (20 cm) cake pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake for roughly twenty minutes, until set on the sides but still wobbly in the center.
Cool to room temperature, invert onto a serving plate, and enjoy. Serves about eight people or two very hungry weirdos in the dead of night. Photos in order
