Step 4: Prepare the Ramekins

Grease the ramekins generously with butter, then dust with cocoa powder, tapping out the excess. This will help the lava cakes unmold easily.

Step 5: Fill the Ramekins

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full. Place the ramekins on the preheated baking sheet.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set, but the centers are still soft. Be careful not to overbake, as this can result in a cake that's not gooey in the center.

Step 7: Unmold and Serve

Carefully run a knife around the edge of each cake to loosen it from the ramekin. Invert each cake onto a small plate, giving it a gentle shake to release. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve immediately.

Enjoy the ooey-gooey center and the satisfying crunch of the outer layer. This Lava Cake Recipe is sure to become a staple in your preppy kitchen, impressing guests and satisfying your sweet tooth alike. Happy baking!
