Ingredients

6 ounces dark chocolate
6 ounces butter
4 eggs
3 ounces sugar
2 ounces flour

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 390°F.
Melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave or on the stove top.
Mix eggs and sugar together, whisking them for a few minutes, then add in the flour.
Add the egg mix to the melted chocolate mix and combine them.
Pour the mix in a greased mold (mini ramekins).
Place mini ramekins on a baking sheet with a little bit of water. Bake directly in the oven at 390°F for 14 minutes (18 if baking with the water bath).

Notes

For a more cake-like center, bake without water on the baking sheet.
If you don't have ramekins, you can use muffin tins to make the individual lava cakes.
Use mini-ramekins to make them individual-sized servings, just like they do on the cruise.
If you’re baking them in individual ramekins, you can line them up on a baking sheet, placing them in rows a couple of inches apart to bake them all together. We found that putting a little water on the bottom of the sheet helped to keep the cake moist and the center melted. If adding the water, the baking time should be extended to 18 minutes.
