Lemon Lava Cake with a Gooey Citrus Center

by

Lemon Lava Cake offers a burst of bright citrus flavor with its gooey, molten center, surrounded by a delicate white chocolate cake. The contrast between the tartness of the lemon and the sweetness of the chocolate creates a decadent experience with each spoonful.

  1. Ingredients:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 oz white chocolate, chopped
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Fresh berries, for garnish (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease 4 ramekins with butter and lightly dust with flour, tapping out the excess. Set aside.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and white chocolate over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and granulated sugar.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest until combined.
  5. Gradually add the egg mixture to the melted chocolate-butter mixture, stirring gently until smooth and well combined.
  6. Slowly fold in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the cakes sit for 1 minute before carefully running a knife around the edges to loosen them. Invert each ramekin onto a serving plate.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries, if desired.
