    For Greasing the Cake Pans
  • First of all, place one teaspoon of butter into each cake pan you will use, and spread the butter evenly to grease the pans with your fingertips.
  • Then sift half a teaspoon of flour into each pan, making sure the flour is spread evenly to the bottom and the sides of the cake pan.
  • For the Lava Cake
  • Mix the egg, sugar, vanillin sugar and salt in a bowl.
  • Place the butter and pieces of dark chocolate in a saucepan. Start heating it up at low temperature. Mix it regularly until the chocolate melts inside the butter.
  • As soon as the chocolate melts, take the pan away from the burner. This way the butter won't be overheated.
  • Let the saucepan cool down on the counter for a couple of minutes before you add this melted chocolate into the mixture.
  • Add the melted chocolate into the mixture and make sure to stir the mixture. This will help the chocolate to be more easily integrated into the mixture.
  • Divide the mixture equally into your greased and floured cake moulds.
  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees (do not use the fan mode).
  • Bake the lava cakes for exactly 8 minutes. If you bake them for more than 8 minutes, the chocolate inside won't be melted and ooze out.
  • Bon appetit!
