Chocolate Lava Cupcakes

Ingredients:

1 C. Chocolate Chips

1 TBSP Cocoa

½ C. Butter 

½ C. Sugar 

½ tsp Vanilla

4 Eggs 

3 TBSP Flour 

¼ tsp Salt 

Instructions:

If you love you some chocolate, this is a recipe of your dreams. I don’t understand the chemistry that creates the lovely, fudgey middle texture, but it is pretty dang great.

Okay, enough talk – let’s do this!

Preheat the oven to 375°F. 

In your sauciest pan; melt the butter, chocolate chips, sugar and cocoa until combined and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla. 

Add the eggs slowly so you can stir each one all the way in before you add the next one. Whisk in the salt and flour just until combined. I sort of sprinkle it over the top so it doesn’t clump up. 

The batter is going to be runny – no worries – you didn’t do it wrong. At least, I think you didn’t. It’s really hard to see your batter from this angle. But if it’s runny enough to make you crave hot chocolate, that’s right on target. 

Scoop into greased muffin cups and pop the whole thing in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. Bake for 10-11 minutes.

Like Cat, you might wonder if they are done because that toothpick is never going to come out clean. If you go at least 10 minutes at this temp, you’ll be fine. I’ve gone as long as 15 minutes and they still turn out great.
