Chocolate Molten Lava Cakes

 
Sometimes things don't go the way you want them to.  You don't feel "good enough," life gets confusing, and everywhere you turn you seem to be faced with obstacles and frustration.  Thankfully, we have family.  And friends.  And... chocolate.  And nothing could beat a combination of all three.



 Adapted from a foodnetwork recipe.

Ingredients
8oz semisweet chocolate (I used chocolate chips)
10 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 large eggs, plus 3 yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbs your favorite liqueur (I used Amarula)
1 pinch of salt

Procedure
Preheat oven to 425 degrees and grease six (6 oz) ramekins. Melt the chocolate and butter slowly in a double boiler.  Remove from heat, and mix in the flour and sugar to chocolate mixture. Stir in the eggs and yolks until smooth. Stir in the vanilla, liqueur, and salt. Divide the batter evenly among the ramekins. Place in the oven and bake for 14 minutes. The edges should be firm but the center will be runny. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto dessert plates. Serve alone, or with vanilla ice cream :)
