- 125g dark chocolate + 6 squares
- 55 g of traditional-style olive oil
- 2 eggs + 2 egg yolks
- 50g sugar

Tip
A variation on the chocolate lava cake: you can replace the fleur de sel with a little Espelette pepper, which goes very well with dark chocolate. Olive oil is perfect for use in chocolate cakes! Do also try the recipe for chocolate fondant made with olive oil.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Melt the chocolate with 2 tablespoons of traditional-style olive oil. Once the chocolate has melted, add the remaining olive oil and mix well.
- Whisk the eggs and sugar vigorously, then fold in the flour. Add the chocolate mixture.
- Grease some muffin tins or similar.
- Fill the moulds three-quarters full with the batter. Place 1 square of chocolate and 1 pinch of fleur de sel in the centre of each one. Cover with the remaining batter.
- Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes. Serve hot or warm.
