Ingredients
- 75 g butter unsalted
- 120 g dark chocolate best if over 60%
- 35 g sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 1/2 tbsp plain flour
Instructions
- Prepare the cocottes/ramekins by rubbing them with butter and sprinkle some flour or cacao powder in them. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together over bain-marie or in a microwave at 30 seconds intervals.
- In a bowl with a hand mixer whisk together the eggs, sugar and salt until they are all nice and pale.
- To the bowl add the melted chocolate and butter. Once combined, add the flour and mix until all the flour is folded in.
- Bake the lava cakes in the air fryer at 180°C/ 350°F for 7 minutes. If you want a less molten centre leave them for 9 minutes.
- Take out the lava cakes from the air fryer with a clean towel. Let cool for a minute and gently push in a butter knife around the edges of the ramekin so to loosen the side. Transfer the cakes to a plate and dust with icing sugar.
