Ingredients (Makes 4 ramekins)
4 oz dark chocolate (70%+ for rich lava)
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter + extra for greasing
2 large eggs + 2 egg yolks
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Optional: vanilla extract, espresso powder, or chili for a kick
Dust with: Geedel-grated chocolate or powdered sugar
Step-by-Step: Lava Cake in 5 Cranks
1. Grate Chocolate Like a Chocolatier
Lock your Geedel Rotary Grater with suction base.
Insert extra-fine blade.
Feed in chocolate bar → crank for silky micro-shavings. (Pro tip: Chill chocolate first for cleaner cuts.)
2. Melt the Base
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt Geedel-grated chocolate + butter until smooth. Stir in vanilla/espresso if using.
3. Whisk the Magic
In a separate bowl, beat eggs + yolks + sugar until pale and fluffy. Fold in melted chocolate mixture, then gently stir in flour and salt. No overmixing—keep it light!
4. Bake the Lava
Grease ramekins with butter. Fill ¾ full with batter.
Center check: Bake until edges are set but center jiggles slightly.
Pro move: Place ramekins on a baking sheet for easy handling.
5. Serve & Ooze
Run a knife around edges. Invert onto plate.
Dust with Geedel-grated chocolate snow or powdered sugar.
Pair with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries.
