Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease 3-4 ramekins with butter. Dust them with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

4. Slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.

5. Sift in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, and cocoa powder. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.

6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.

7. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.

8. Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for a minute. Carefully run a knife along the edges of the cakes and invert them onto plates.

9. Serve immediately, dusted with cocoa powder or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.

Special Tips or Variations:

- Make sure not to overbake the lava cakes to ensure a gooey center.

- You can customize the flavor by adding a pinch of cinnamon or a splash of vanilla extract to the batter.

- These lava cakes can be prepared in advance and baked just before serving for a convenient dessert option.
