How to cook deliciously - Chocolate Lava Cakes

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 400°. Generously grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with butter. Dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess.

2. Stage

In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high speed, beat granulated sugar and 1/2 cup butter until fluffy and smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend after each addition. Beat in vanilla until combined. Gradually beat in flour, espresso, and salt until just combined and smooth. Fold in chocolate with a spatula until incorporated. Divide batter among prepared cups, filling one-half to three-quarters of the way full.

3. Stage

Bake cakes just until tops no longer jiggle, 7 to 9 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes.

4. Stage

Place a large baking sheet on top of muffin tin. Holding both pans together, flip to invert cakes onto baking sheet. Quickly transfer to serving plates, bottom sides up.

5. Stage

Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve with ice cream alongside (if using).
