Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g butter
  • 150 g premium dark choc
  • 3 eggs
  • 60 g raw sugar if you cannot find, just use caster
  • 40 g plain flour
  • 10 g cocoa powder sieved
  • 1 Tbsp orange liquer optional
  • These are for 4 deep cup cakes.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 210C, line a 12-muffin pan with cup cake liners.
  • Melt butter and choc in microwave and check intermittently.
  • Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, whisk eggs and sugar till ribbon stage.
  • Stir in butter and chocolate mixture.
  • Fold in plain flour, orange liquer and cocoa powder.
  • Cool mixture in the fridge before baking or bake immediately. (I prefer to bake later)
  • Bake in a medium to high rack for 6-7 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and best served immediately. These actually taste good served cooled as well.
  • *Important notes: if you want a thicker cake layer and less lava, lower the temperature by 10C and increase the baking time by 1 minute. If you want a thinner and more hardened outer layer and more lava, add 2 Tbsp of milk to the batter, do 6 minutes at 230C. Watch and do not let it burn!
