Ingredients
For the Chocolate Mixture
For the Batter
- 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 cup Sugar granulated
- 2 Eggs large
- 2 Egg Yolks
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 tsp Baking Powder for lift
- Pinch Salt
For Finishing
- Cooking Spray as needed, for greasing the liners
- Cocoa Powder as needed, for dusting the liners
- Optional Vanilla Ice Cream for serving
- Optional Berries for serving, fresh
Instructions
Prepare the Baking Cups
- Line 12 standard-sized muffin cups with paper liners. Lightly grease the liners with cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder. This prevents sticking and adds a nice chocolatey touch.
Melt the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and cubed butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Prepare the Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until light and frothy.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gently pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring until just combined. Then, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth batter forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Fill the Cupcake Liners
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
Bake the Cupcakes
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs attached.
Cool and Serve
- Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh berries, if desired.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Lava Cupcakes:
- Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and melting consistency.
- Don't overmix the batter, as this can lead to tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Check for doneness at 12 minutes, as oven temperatures can vary. If the centers are still too soft, bake for another minute or two.
- For an even richer chocolate flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of espresso powder to the batter.
