Method

Cake Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Oven and Ramekins

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour six ramekins or small oven-safe dishes.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

  5. 5

    Add Chocolate Truffles

    Spoon a layer of the batter into each ramekin, then place a dark chocolate truffle in the center, and cover with more batter.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 1 minute. Carefully invert onto plates and serve warm.
