The keys to a good chocolate lava cake are (1) taste & (2) lava; otherwise it will be just a good tasting brownie! I find the 70% cocoa chocolate makes the lava cake flavour really mesmerising. I have tried Cadbury Old Gold Dark Chocolate but w/o the cocoa the taste experience is several notch down, so if you do you will need to experiment with adding cocoa to get to the right taste. For the lava, the size of the muffin tray (I still do not have ramekins!), temperature & timing are CRITICAL; and because in this recipe the time is only 3mins 40secs, any variation & you will have to trial & error to get the correct combination. For example, I have to use the grill function at 210degC in order that the top hardens while inside is still molten & let the bottom harden further while resting for few minutes!
Cadbury Old Gold chocolate 70% cocoa 100g (1/2 bar)
unsalted butter 100g (0.4x250g bar)
sugar 1 tbsp flat
normal flour a tbsp flat
3 eggs + 2 eggyolk

Method
beat egg & sugar
add in flour & beat (steps 1 & 2 can do together)
melt butter & chocolate (on top) in microwave 70-80seconds & beat
then add slowly to egg mixture (so egg won’t be cooked as chocolate slightly warm) & beat
use butter cube to grease thoroughly each cup of 6 cup small muffin tray & fill up 70% with the chocolate mix
preheat oven to 210degC and put to grill function
place muffin tray in preheated oven – use phone to time 3mins 40secs & remove immediately
leave muffin tray for few minutes for bottom (top when inverted) to harden
invert & serve the chocolate lava cake with a nice ice-cream or strawberries

Tips
3mins 40secs is very short so (1)oven must be preheated (2)must use grill function & not fan circulation (3) must use small 6 cup muffin tray..any variation will require trial & error to adjust to correct timing
