Ingredients
- 4 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar plus more for dusting
- 2 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks from large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Grease 4 ramekins. I use 6 ounce ramekins.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate and butter on high for 1 minute, or until butter has melted.
- Whisk together butter and chocolate until chocolate has melted and is incorporated.
- Add the powdered sugar, and whisk until combined.
- Whisk in the eggs, yolks, and vanilla until well-combined.
- Add flour, and whisk until just combined.
- Pour batter into prepared ramekins.
- Set ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
- Let the cakes stand for 1 minute.
- Run a thin knife around the edge to loosen cakes, and invert onto plate.
- Dust with additional powdered sugar, if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
- Chocolate: I recommend using a baking chocolate bar, like Baker’s Chocolate or Ghirardelli. Chocolate chips may not melt as well, and you may end up with grainy chocolate.
- Butter: I like to use salted butter in this recipe. You can use unsalted butter with a pinch of salt if you prefer.
- Powdered sugar: Using powdered sugar in this cake helps to give it its tender, fudgy texture.
