Chocolate Lava Cake

 👍 
 

It was first introduced to me my junior year in College. My friend Adam and I were driving up and down PCH in Malibu, CA, looking at venues for our upcoming formal (we were both on the committee to host it). It was getting late and we both hadn’t had dinner… I was freezing (November in LA is cold… to me), we were both grouchy from hunger and fatigue… then we zoomed by Charthouse. Adam: Have you ever been to Charthouse? Me: No I haven’t, looks fancy. Adam: Oh man, we gotta go, you gotta try to chocolate cake, I can’t believe you’ve never been there! Me: (sparkles in my eyes, immediately energized at the sound of “chocolate”) CHOCOLATE CAKE? Adam: (busting a U) oh yeah prepared to get your mind blown - this is my birthday present to you. So we sat down, ordered 1 appetizer and the cake, and patiently waited. They make the cake right when you order it so it takes about 30 minutes… but you KNOW for a fact that it’ll be fresh and warm by the time it makes to your table. And Adam was right – it was the most delicious chocolate cake I’ve ever tasted in my life. It was everything I was looking for in a chocolate cake – rich chocolate flavor, gooey chocolate fudgy center… every bite is chocolate heaven. I woulda died a happy woman right then and there. And the best part is, it’s pretty easy to make – I’ve made several happy roommates since then. Note: the recipe calls for 3 different kinds of chocolate and I find that's the perfect combination, but you can really use 6 oz. of any of your favorite chocolate to tailor it to your taste.

What you will need

2 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate

2 ounces bittersweet baking chocolate

2 ounces semisweet baking chocolate

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, and extra for ramekins

1/3 cup packed brown sugar
