Lava Cake

Ingredients:

• 240 g butter, plus more for greasing the pan
• 4 teaspoons of granulated sugar
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch cayenne pepper
• A pinch of nutmeg
• 250 g chocolate, chopped
• 1 cup premium wheat flour
• 2.5 cups powdered sugar, plus more for sprinkling
• 6 large eggs and 6 egg yolks
• 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp almond extract

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease a 8-well round baking pan with butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
2. Combine butter, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and chocolate in a saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth. Cool slightly.
   
   In a bowl, whisk together the flour, powdered sugar, eggs and yolks, vanilla, and almond extract until smooth. Then pour in the chocolate mixture and mix until smooth. Pour the batter into the molds.
3. Place the pan in the oven and bake until the top is set but the inside is still soft, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Using a small knife, loosen the cakes from the pan and transfer them to a serving platter. Dust the Lava cakes with powdered sugar.
