Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 15 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 15 grams powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease six 6-ounce (175 ml) ramekins or a muffin tin with butter and lightly dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Melt them together over a double boiler, or in the microwave by heating in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until the mixture becomes pale and slightly frothy, about 2 minutes.
Stir in the vanilla extract and the slightly cooled chocolate-butter mixture until well combined.
Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins or muffin tin, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly when gently shaken.
Remove from the oven and let the mini cakes cool in the ramekins for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen them, then invert onto serving plates.
Dust with powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm. Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fresh berries for an extra treat.
