Some chocolate things!

Chocolata lava cakes V2.0! Very nice but (if that's a *but*)  rich (have with ice cream or whipped cream..?) I used Gu ramekins (The ones their desserts come in that you can buy at supermarkets) which were just the right size for this.


Ingredients
250g 70% dark chocolate
300ml milk
50g unsalted butter at room temperature
25g cocoa powder
150g caster sugar
2 eggs
25g self raising flour

Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Serves: 6
Cooking temp: Gas 4, 180oC

Method
  1.   Preheat the oven to 180oC, Gas 4
  2. Melt the chocolate in the milk over a low heat. In two small clean bowls, separate the eggs.
  3. Cream together the butter and sugar, then fold in the flour, cooca powder,egg yolk, and chocolate mixture and mix well.
  4. Beat the whites until they hold their shape, then spoon into the chocolate mixture and mix again with a metal spoon.
  5. Pour this into 6 8cmx8cm ramekins, and place them into a large roasting dish. Fill the dish with boiling water, to a depth of 2.5cm up the side of the ramekins
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, until they form a firm cracked crust (don't overbake or they'll loose the liquid centre).
  7. Enjoy asap! You could dust with some icing sugar or cocoa powder to serve.
