Total Time
21 min
Ingredients
- 4-oz good quality semi-sweet baking chocolate, chopped
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, chopped (and more to grease ramekins)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (and more for dusting)
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees and generously grease two 6-8oz ramekins with butter and dust with powdered sugar. Place ramekins on baking sheet.
- Place chopped chocolate and butter in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30 seconds increments, whisking after each, until completely melted. I just needed 1 minute total.
- Whisk powdered sugar, eggs, vanilla, and flour into chocolate-butter mix. Mix until completely smooth.
- Portion batter evenly into ramekins and bake 11 minutes until edges are firm, but center is still soft.
- Let sit 3-4 minutes out of the oven and then gently turn ramekins over your plate or bowl with oven mitts (Careful: Hot!!!). Tap bottom of ramekin if needed to release cakes.
- Serve immediately with gelato, ice cream, whipped cream, fresh fruit, and/or hot fudge sauce.
Notes
- Make sure to generously butter the ramekins so your cakes don't get stuck and fall apart.
- Tip: To prepare ahead, go up to step 4 then refrigerate the ramekins. When ready to serve, pop directly into oven. You may need to add an extra minute if batter is really cold.
