Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease 3-4 ramekins or small oven-safe dishes with butter and dust with cocoa powder.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and milk together in 20-second intervals until the butter is fully melted. Stir to combine and set aside to cool slightly.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until light and fluffy.

4. Slowly pour the melted butter and milk mixture into the eggs while whisking continuously to prevent curdling.

5. Sift in the flour, bicarbonate of soda, and cocoa powder into the wet ingredients. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. Fold in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate into the batter until evenly distributed.

7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

8. 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.

9. Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes.

10. Using oven mitts, invert each ramekin onto a plate to release the molten lava cakes. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, gooey center.

Special Tips or Variations:

- Serve the chocolate lava cakes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

- You can make the batter ahead of time and refrigerate it. Just bring it to room temperature before baking.

- Adjust the baking time based on your oven and desired lava consistency—shorter time for more molten centers and longer for a cake-like texture.
