- 1/2 cup unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk (or non-dairy milk for a vegan version)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons vegan butter (for egg-free version)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
- Grease two 6-ounce ramekins with butter or cooking spray to ensure the cakes don’t stick.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter together in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the melted chocolate and butter into the dry ingredients, followed by the milk.
- Pour the batter into prepared ramekins and bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is still soft.
- Cool for a few minutes, then flip the cakes onto a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for the ultimate dessert experience.
