How to Make Dulce de Leche Lava Cake
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Grease four 6-ounce ramekins generously with butter. Dust them with flour, tapping out the excess, and place them on a baking sheet for easy handling.
Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in a microwave-safe bowl. Use 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
Whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar in a separate bowl until well combined and slightly frothy.
Combine the melted chocolate mixture with the egg mixture, stirring gently until everything is blended and smooth.
Fold in the flour and salt with care, mixing until just combined.
Divide a small amount of the batter into each prepared ramekin, filling them about one-third full.
Add a spoonful of dulce de leche into the center of each ramekin.
Cover the dulce de leche with more chocolate batter until the ramekins are filled about three-quarters full.
Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. Look for edges that are firm while the center remains soft.
Cool the cakes for 1-2 minutes after removing from the oven.
Loosen the cakes by running a knife around the edges of the ramekins and invert onto a plate.
Dust the cakes with powdered sugar and serve warm with fresh berries and ice cream if desired.
Garnish with mint leaves for a refreshing touch. Monitor baking time closely, as every oven is slightly different.
