Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 60 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare 4 ramekins by spraying them lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Dust each ramekin with cocoa powder, ensuring an even coating, and tap out the excess.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and stir occasionally until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and powdered sugar until well combined.
Add the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture and whisk until smooth.
Gradually fold the flour and sugar mixture into the chocolate mixture, mixing just until combined and no lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the batter's light texture.
Divide half of the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place 2 mini marshmallows in the center of the batter in each ramekin. Cover the marshmallows with the remaining batter, ensuring they are completely enclosed.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 11-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and allow the cakes to cool for 1-2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each cake to loosen them, then carefully invert them onto serving plates.
Serve immediately while warm and gooey. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
