Recipe of the Week - Baileys chocolate lava cake with espresso ice cream

We spotted this wonderful recipe on Today Online and just had to share it with you.

Serves 6

INGREDIENTS

120g butter
120g 70 per cent chocolate
3 large eggs
100g fine sugar
30g cake flour
1 tsp baking powder
7½ tbsp Baileys Irish Cream


METHOD

1. Melt chocolate and butter in a bowl over simmering water (a water bath) separately. Remove from heat and combine them in a mixing bowl.

2. Next, beat eggs with sugar in a bowl until it begins to mix well. Add the chocolate and butter mix to the egg and sugar mix. Whisk gently to blend well.

3. Mix in cake flour and baking powder followed by Baileys Irish Cream liqueur.

4. Grease six moulds or ramekins (7.5cm in diameter at the top) with soft butter and pour around 80g (about ¾ full) of the batter into each.

5. Bake in a pre-heated 210ºC oven for 8 minutes. Give a gentle shake - the cake should not be wobbly at this point.

6. To plate, place a plate over the mould and turn over to release the cake from the mould.

7. Serve with your choice of either a scoop of espresso ice cream or a dollop of chocolate chip cream, finished with a drizzle of Grand Marnier or Baileys with a hint of mint chocolate.
