For the Mini Chocolate Molten Cakes

Method

Baking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ramekins

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Add Flour

    Sift in the all-purpose flour and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  5. 5

    Fill Ramekins

    Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with melted chocolate to create a thin chocolate shell.
