Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup 1/3 creamy peanut butter

  • 4 tablespoons 4 butter

  • 1 1 egg

  • 1 1 egg yolk

  • 2 tablespoons 2 sugar

  • 1 tablespoon 1 flour

  • powdered sugar, sifted (optional for serving)

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 450F.
  • In a small bowl, microwave the peanut butter and butter in 30-second increments until fully melted.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until smooth. Add in the melted butter mixture and flour and mix until everything is well combined.
  • Make sure to butter and lightly flour 2 ramekins. If you don’t have ramekins, you can use a cupcake tin, but you will make 4 smaller lava cakes (See note).
  • Pour the batter into the ramekins and bake for about 7 minutes. The edges should be set but the center should still jiggle slightly. Remove from the oven and let them cool for about a minute.
  • To remove the lava cakes from the ramekins, run a knife along the edges to loosen the cakes from the ramekin. Then, place a plate upside-down on top of a ramekin. Hold the plate against the ramekin tightly and flip everything quickly so that the lava cake is upright on the plate. Gently pull the ramekin away to reveal your lava cake.
  • If desired, top with sifted powdered sugar. These are best enjoyed immediately!

Notes

  • If using a cupcake tin, you will only need to bake for 4-5 minutes.
