Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 4 ounce chocolate bar (*)
- 2 egg
- 100 gram sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 clementine, zest
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- cocoa powder, to sprinkle (optional)
- clementine sections, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 400 Fahrenheit (200 Celsius). Grease four 6 ounce ramekins and place on a baking pan (I use a half-sheet pan).
- 2
Melt chocolate, either in a microwave, or with a double boiler method. Let cool slightly.
- 3
Whisk egg, sugar, salt, vanilla, clementine zest, and olive oil until light and fluffy.
- 4
With a spatula, fold in the melted chocolate. Once the mixture is uniform, divide into the four ramekins.
- 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. The top will look quite dry and you may notice a bit of cracks, but the inside should still be ooey gooey.

To serve, dust with cocoa powder, and top with clementine sections. Alternatively, just enjoy the lava cake as is.
