Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter softened
- ⅓ cup (67 g) sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ⅓ cup (42 g) flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ⅓ cup (240 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips melted
- 1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 °F (204 °C). Grease the inside of your 4 ounce ramekins with some cooking spray or take a pad of butter and rub it around on the inside.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar until creamy.4 tablespoons unsalted butter, 1/3 cup sugar
- Add in the eggs, one by one, beating after each egg.3 large eggs
- Add in the flour and salt and combine until smooth.1/3 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Gently blend in your melted chocolate until just combined.1 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Divide batter evenly amongst your ramekins. I was able to make 5. You'll want to fill the ramekins 3/4 of the way. Put your ramekins on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops of the cake no longer jiggle when you shake the pan lightly.
- Let sit for 10 minutes then take a knife and go around the edge. They should pop out easily.
- Lightly dust with powdered sugar on top before serving.1 tablespoon confectioner's sugar
