• Take another bowl whisk the flour, confectioners’ sugar, and salt together. Then take another bowl and whisk the eggs and its yolks until combined. Into a frothy mix. Then combine by pouring the egg mixture into the chocolate one.

• Use a spatula to stir it nicely into a well combined smooth mixture. You can even use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture. While stirring make sure there are no bubbles in the mixture. Use your whisking technique to get rid of any air bubbles in the mixture. The batter will be a thick one.

• Pour chocolate batter evenly into the already prepared ramekin or muffin cup.

• Then place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 14 minutes approx. Make sure to keep a check on your oven until the sides appear solid and firm but the tops still look soft. If you are baking in a muffin pan, then the mixture will take 8-10 minutes max to bake your chocolate lava cake.
