Ingredients
- 4 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate chopped
- 6 tablespoons butter cubed
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 2 egg
- 4 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon peanut butter brand The Bee's Knees
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder unsweetened
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray 2 8 oz. ramekins with non-stick cooking spray. Place 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder in the first ramekin. Swirl the cocoa powder all around the ramekin and tap out the extra in the second ramekin. Add in the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of cocoa powder and discard the excess cocoa powder once ramekin is covered.
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, add in the chopped semi-sweet chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30 second intervals and stir after each 30 seconds. Do this 3 to 4 times until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
- Set aside and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Add in the granulated sugar and eggs and whisk until thoroughly incorporated.
- Add in the all-purpose flour. Using a spatula, mix until the flour is barely combined.
- Pour batter into the 2 ramekins.
- Place a large teaspoon of the peanut butter in the center of each ramekin. Make sure to press it down a little and cover it with the cake batter.
- Place the two ramekins on a quarter sheet pan and place in the oven. Bake for about 14 minutes. The outside of the cakes will be baked and the center will still be very jiggly.
- Serve immediately. If you're feeling crazy, add a scoop of ice cream to the cake.
