Let’s prepare the wonderful Chocolate Lava Cake the easy and simple way.

RECIPE: https://www.cookingwithalia.com/765-chocolate-lava-cake/

INGREDIENTS:
For the chocolate lava cakes:
150 grams (5.2 oz) dark chocolate, 60-70% cocoa
125 grams (4.4 oz) butter
1 teaspoon instant coffee
100 grams (3.5 oz) granulated sugar
3 large eggs
50 grams (1.7 oz) all-purpose white flour
18 grams (0.6 oz) unsweetened cocoa powder

For decoration:
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
fresh mint leaves

DIRECTIONS:
1- In a medium glass bowl, add the butter, the dark chocolate, the instant coffee, and microwave until the chocolate has completely melted.       
2- In another bowl, add the eggs, the sugar, and mix all together using a whisker for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes thick.
3- Add the melted chocolate to the eggs mixture little by little, and continue mixing until well combined.
4- In a different bowl, mix the flour and cocoa powder with a spoon and add it little by little to the chocolate mixture. Mix well for about 2 minutes using the electric egg beater until the batter becomes homogeneous.
5- Grease 4 individual ramekins (6 cm x 5 cm) with butter and dust with cocoa powder, then pour in the chocolate batter.
6- Place the ramekins in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) and bake for 10 minutes. The edges of the chocolate lava cake should be firm and the center is springy.
7- Serve immediately.

Tips:
– Cover the ramekins with a plastic wrap and store the cakes in the fridge for up to 24 hours and bake for 10 minutes.
– It is also possible to freeze the cakes in the freezer for up to 4 weeks and cook for 20 minutes.

Potato and Hot Dog Frittata – A Must Try!

Potatoes, eggs & hot dogs , an Italian childhood classic that fed generations and still hits every time. Sure, it’s not fancy… but ask anyone who grew up on this and they’ll pick it over filet mignon any day. Bonus points if you eat it in a sandwich by the beach like a true Italian (I swear it tastes even better at the beach) it’s such a humble thing but I think many many cultures relate to how special dishes like these really are for the soul! Approx recipe and instructions below! 3 medium size russets, peeled and thinly sliced 4 to 6 hot dogs (all beef for me) slices up 6 eggs Plenty of grated parm Plenty of S&P Olive oil I like cooking the potatoes in some olive oil over medium heat until they are about half way cooked (season them with a pinch of salt and pepper) then once there, add the hot dogs and continue cooking until the potatoes are fully cooked, add in the whisked egg and cheese mixture and cook until golden and set on the bottom, I use a fish spatula to kind of “slice it” into 1/4 pieces so it’s easier to flip but honestly this DOES NOT have to be perfect, it’s rustic home food. Cook until fully set then sprinkle more parm and enjoy every single bite!
