MOLTEN LAVA BOURBON CAKES

Category: Cakes

8 tbsp salted butter
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 oz semisweet chocolate
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 2/3 cups powdered sugar
3 large eggs plus 3 large egg yolks
1 vanilla bean, scraped
1 tsp Jim Beam Kentucky Bourbon

Preheat oven to 425. Spray the cups of a large Muffin Tin. I used Silicone, but any pan will do. You can also use individual ramekins, if you desire. If making more than 6 (meaning, smaller cakes) be sure to adjust the baking time.

Melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave, 45 seconds at first, then stir. Continue to cook in 30 second increments, until chocolate and butter are smooth. Add in flour and sugar, stir. Stir in eggs. Finally, add in vanilla and bourbon and stir until smooth.

Pour into prepared baking cups. Bake for 10 minutes, until outside edges are set but middle is still a little shaky, as the cakes will continue to cook a bit out of the oven. Remove from baking pan after 5 minutes.

Add ice cream and enjoy! Makes 6 cakes
