Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 oz. dark chocolate with a minimum of 70% cocoa solids
2 oz. butter
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
3 eggs
1 tablespoon butter, for greasing the ramekins

Directions:
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease 4-6 small ramekins with butter.
Divide or chop the chocolate into smaller pieces. Put in a saucepan or the top of a double boiler. Add butter and melt together carefully.
Add vanilla and stir until smooth. Turn off the heat and set aside. Allow the chocolate to cool, but not too much; keep it from getting firm.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and beat with a hand mixer until fluffy — about 2-3 minutes.
Pour in the chocolate batter. Mix well, preferably with a wooden spoon or fork, until the batter is smooth.
Pour the batter into the greased ramekins and place in the oven. Immediately lower the heat to 350°F (175°C).
Set your timer for 5–7 minutes, depending on number of servings.
Remove from the oven and serve lukewarm. A dollop of whipped cream or sour cream adds a delicious finishing touch.

Tip!

These cakes will continue to bake in the ramekins after you remove them from the oven. Keep the lava flowing by pulling them out a little early.
