How to Make Chocolate Nutella Lava Cake

  1. Melt butter and chocolate chips in a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth and melted.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer).
  3. Gradually whisk in the flour until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the melted chocolate mixture until well incorporated and glossy.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with cooking spray.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about halfway.
  7. Spoon 1 tablespoon of Nutella into the center of each ramekin.
  8. Top with the remaining batter.
  9. Bake for 10-14 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft.
  10. While the cakes are baking, prepare your garnish by chopping the walnuts and slicing the strawberries.
  11. Carefully remove the cakes from the oven. Place a plate on top of each ramekin and invert to release the cakes.
  12. Garnish with chopped walnuts and sliced strawberries.
  13. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, gooey center!
