Equipment
- 1 6 oz ramekin Can also use a muffin tin in a pinch
Ingredients
- 3 oz semisweet or dark chocolate chips use a food scale to get the most accurate weight
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Set your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a 6-ounce ramekin and dust with flour, shaking out the excess.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butter in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Make sure your chocolate has cooled a bit before adding it to your eggs (see step 4)
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, egg yolk, and sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened. Stir in the vanilla.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
- Sift in the flour and salt, and fold until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared ramekin.
- Place the ramekin on a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be set, but the center should still jiggle slightly.
- Let the cake cool for about 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and invert onto a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with ice cream or berries.
