An elegant and delicious dessert that is actually really easy to make (only 20 minutes!). Warm, rich, decadent chocolate cake with a gooey lava filling in the middle, topped with vanilla ice cream.
Bring dark chocolate and unsalted butter to a small/medium micrwavable bowl.
Microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power, remove from microwave, stir with a spoon, bring back to microwave. Repeat until all chocolate is melted. Note: do not short cut this step to void burning chocolate!
In another small/medium bowl, whisk together egg, egg yolk, flour, and sugar.
Add melted chocolate into egg mixture. Whisk to combine.
Generously grease two 6 oz ramekins using unsalted butter. Can grease with vegetable oil or canola oil as well.
Divide mixture equally into the two ramekins. Place ramekins on baking sheet.
Bake for 12-13 minutes. Remove ramekins promptly. Let it rest for 1 minute (don't let it sit for too long as it will continue to cook and it will not longer be gooey in the middle). Invert ramekins onto plates.
