# Chocolate Lava Cake

A chocolate and butter cake with just one tablespoon of flour, which I bake briefly so it stays very soft in the center.

## What you need

- 7 oz High-quality bittersweet chocolate
- 1 cup Butter
- 1¼ cups Sugar
- 5 Eggs
- 1 tbsp All-purpose flour

## How I make it

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Melt the chocolate and butter together, in the microwave or in a double boiler.
3. Add the sugar and let cool briefly.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well with a wooden spoon after each egg.
5. Add the flour and mix well until the batter is smooth.
6. Transfer to a pan and bake for 22 minutes. The cake should be very soft in the center.
7. Remove from the oven, quickly release the cake from the pan, and let it cool and rest.
