Description
A decadent Molten Hot Chocolate Cake that melts in your mouth, perfect for chocolate lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F. Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out the excess.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until smooth.
- Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place them on a baking sheet for easier handling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate. Let sit for a few seconds before lifting the ramekin off.
- Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the chocolate mixture.
- You can also substitute dark chocolate chips for a more intense chocolate experience.
