Ingredients
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Nutella plus extra for drizzling
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 F. Grease and flour 4 ramekins, and set them to a rimmed cookie sheet.
- Using a mixer (either hand or stand), beat yolks and eggs until pale yellow, about 3 minutes with a stand mixer and about 4-5 minutes with a hand mixer.
- Add flour, and mix in until combined.
- Stir in Nutella and vanilla.
- Divide batter evenly among ramekins. Check out the note below if you want an extra molten center.
- Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet with at least 1-2 inches in between the ramekins.
- Bake cakes until edges are set but the centers is still jiggly, about 12–14 minutes. If you overbake the cakes, then they won't have much molten Nutella in the middle.
- Transfer cookie sheet to a wire cooling rack.
- Let cakes cool for 5 minutes.
- Run a thin knife around edges of ramekins to loosen cakes, and invert cakes onto plates.
- Serve warm.

Notes
- After step 5, the ramekins can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
- After step 5, the ramekins can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking.
- Nutella: You can make homemade Nutella, or use another type of chocolate hazelnut spread.
- Ramekins: I use 6 ounce ramekins.
- Molten center: If you want an extra molten center, pour half of the batter into your prepared ramekin, drop up to 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of the batter. Cover with remaining batter. Please do not use more than 2 teaspoons of Nutella as it can cause the cakes to brake apart when you invert them.
- Make-ahead: After step 5, the ramekins can be covered and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Uncover and bake as-directed. You may find that you need to add an additional 1-2 minutes to the baking time.
