Prep time: 10 minutesCook time: 14 minutesServes: 4
Ingredients
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Butter for greasing ramekins
Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter, then dust with cocoa powder.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
3. Stir the powdered sugar into the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
4. Add the eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Stir in the vanilla extract, then gently fold in the flour and salt 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 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is soft.
8. Remove from oven and let rest for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and carefully invert each cake onto a serving plate.
9. Serve immediately to enjoy the molten chocolate center.
