Cake Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals until completely melted and smooth, stirring in between.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour into Ramekins
Distribute the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 2/3 full.
Baking
Bake the Cakes
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and gently lift to release the cake. Serve immediately, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
