Dark Chocolate Molten Lava Cake

makes 4 extra large individual cakes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup dark chocolate, chopped (approx. 73% cocoa)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cubed
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 whole eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 4-6 dark chocolate truffles
• canola oil spray or melted butter (for greasing the pan)
• 1 tbsp powdered sugar + 1 tsp cocoa powder (for dusting)
• 1 bottle of Murphy-Goode Cabernet Sauvignon- Order a bottle here

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 395°.
2. Apply melted butter or canola oil spray to an extra large muffin tin. (Note – you can use a regular size muffin tin, this will adjust the overall baking time and number of truffles used)
3. Using a double boiler method put chopped dark chocolate and cubed butter into a glass bowl and place above simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth.
4. Remove from glass bowl from heat. Slowly add powdered sugar and stir until incorporated. Add the vanilla, eggs and egg yolks and keep stirring.
5. Follow by adding the all-purpose flour and combine until smooth.
6. Add a large spoonful of mixture to the bottom of muffin cups. Place a truffle in the center and spoon more mixture over the top. Leave a quarter inch of room at the top to allow for baking.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes (13-15 minutes for regular size muffin tins) until the center appears to be cooked through, but be careful to not overcook.
8. Remove from oven and let sit one minute. Carefully remove from the pan and dust with powdered sugar and cocoa powder before serving.
9. Pour a glass of Murphy-Goode Cabernet Sauvignon and enjoy!
