Dark Chocolate Lava Cake

This was my Sweetest Day Dessert!!!! YUMMY! To bad Evan was being a fuss and the cake sat out longer than it should have. Be sure to eat right away for the full lava effect.

Dark Chocolate Lava Cake

6 squares Bittersweet Baking Chocolate
10 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1-1/2 cups plus 1 Tbsp. powdered sugar, divided
1/2 cup flour (I used Whole Wheat)
3 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
Fresh Strawberries for garnish

Heat oven to 425ºF.

Grease 4 souffle dishes. Place on baking sheet.

Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on medium (50%) 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir with whisk until chocolate is completely melted.

Add 1-1/2 cups sugar and flour; mix well. Add whole eggs and egg yolks; beat until well blended.

Pour into prepared cups.

Bake 14 to 15 min. or until cakes are firm around the edges but still soft in the centers.

Let stand 1 min. Run small knife around cakes to loosen; carefully unmold onto dessert plates.

Serve warm topped with remaining sugar. Garnish with berries.
