Molten Butter Cake Ingredients
Method
Directions for Molten Butter Cake
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a ramekin or muffin tin.
Melt the Butter
In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat until completely liquid. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar, and whisk until well combined. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Combine Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Add Caramel Sauce
Pour about half of the cake batter into the prepared ramekin or muffin tin. Spoon 2 tablespoons of caramel sauce into the center, then cover with the remaining batter.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly jiggly.
Cool and Serve
Let the cake cool for a few minutes, then invert onto a plate. Drizzle with remaining caramel sauce, sprinkle with pretzel toffee, and serve warm with scoops of vanilla gelato.
