Butlers Molten Chocolate Volcanos
Ingredients:
- 50g Soft unsalted butter
- 350g Butlers 70% Dark Chocolate (4 bars)
- 150g Caster Sugar
- 4 Large Eggs, beaten with a pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 50g plain flour
6 individual ramekins / moulds
Buttered baking paper
Method:
The nice thing about this recipe is that you can prepare the mixture in advance and put it ready and waiting in the prepared ramekins in the fridge until you are ready to cook them.
Preheat the over to 200 C Degrees / Gas Mark 6, putting in a baking sheet at the same time. Lay 3 of the moulds on a sheet of doubled baking paper. Draw round them, remove, then cut out the discs as marked. Press them all into the base of the ramekins.
Melt the chocolate and let it cool slightly – ( 2 minutes on high, stir, 1 min on 70%, stir and 1 min on 50% if you are using your microwave)
Cream together the butter and sugar, gradually beat in the eggs and salt, then vanilla. Now add the flour, when all is smoothly combined scrape in the cooled chocolate, blending it to a smooth batter.
Divide the batter between the six ramekins, Cook for 10-12 minutes (the extra 2 minutes will be needed if the ramekins are fridge cold when you start) and as soon as you take them out of the oven, tip out these luscious cakes onto small plates or shallow bowls.
Serve these with whipped cream, crème fraîche, crème anglaise or ice cream
