Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter and semisweet chocolate chips together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Mix Sugars and Eggs

    In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and stir until well combined.

  5. 5

    Add Dry Ingredients

    Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the chocolate mixture until just combined.

  6. 6

    Bake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

  7. 7

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy the gooey, molten center!
