Ingredients

– 2 large eggs
– 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
– 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
– 1/4 cup strawberry puree or jam
– 1/4 cup whole milk
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– Pinch of salt
– Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
– Fresh strawberries, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, butter, vanilla extract, strawberry puree, and milk.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth.
5. Pour the batter into 4 (6-ounce) ramekins or small cups.
6. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are set, but the centers are still slightly jiggly.
8. Remove from the oven and let cool in the ramekins for 1-2 minutes.
9. Run a knife around the edges of each cake to release it, then invert onto plates.
10. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and garnish with fresh strawberries.
11. Serve immediately, with the warm strawberry lava flowing out of the center.

Tips

– Use high-quality strawberry puree or jam for the best flavor.
– Don’t overmix the batter, as it can lead to dense cakes.
– Let the cakes cool for a minute or two before serving, as they will be very hot.
– Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra-special treat.
