Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place a double boiler or a small metal bowl over a saucepan with simmering water. Melt the Mexican chocolate and butter in the bowl. Stir in vanilla. Once incorporated and melted turn off the heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift sugar, flour, and salt. Add warm chocolate and mix well with an electric mixer. Add eggs one at the time, fully incorporating each egg before adding the next. Beat at high speed until batter is creamy and lightens in color, approximately 4 minutes. Chill mixture.
- Coat the muffin tin with butter. Dust with the cocoa powder and cinnamon and shake out excess. Ladle a ½ cup of mixture into each muffin pan.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes. Outsides should be cake-like and centers should be gooey.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar or top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whip cream.
Notes
- Tip: Be careful not to over or under-bake these. The top and sides should definitely feel cooked, and just slightly jiggle. Resist the urge to leave them in a few extra minutes, as they will just turn into fully-cooked cakes.
