8 molten cakes
Ingredients
1
stick butter
1 cup
Lily’s Dark Chocolate Baking Chips
3
eggs
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract (or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla paste)
1 pinch
salt
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon
baking powder
1 teaspoon
cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter the insides of the ramekins and dust lightly with flour; set aside.
- Using a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate, stirring to combine. Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs with a whisk until they're light, pale, and fluffy. Add the vanilla and whisk to combine.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the salt, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- Pour the cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, then sift the flour mixture into the bowl, as well.
- Fold the mixture together gently, then fill the ramekins with the mixture three-quarters of the way.
- Bake for 10 to 11 minutes, and serve warm. (For less-molten cakes, bake for an extra minute.)
