Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Mini chocolate chips (optional)
  • Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease 4 ramekins or muffin cups with butter and lightly dust with flour.
  2. Melt chocolate chips and butter together in a heatproof bowl over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
  3. Whisk in powdered sugar, then beat in eggs and egg yolks, followed by vanilla and salt.
  4. Gently fold in flour until just combined.
  5. Divide batter evenly between ramekins.
  6. For the caramel sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter and brown sugar over medium heat. Stir in cream and salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
  7. Spoon 1–2 teaspoons of caramel sauce into the center of each ramekin.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
  9. Let cool for 1-2 minutes, then invert onto plates. Drizzle with extra caramel sauce and garnish with chocolate chips or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
  • Pair with a shot of espresso or dessert wine.
  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt for contrast.
  • Bake just until the center is still gooey for that molten effect.
  • Use a spoonful of Nutella instead of caramel for a chocolate-on-chocolate moment.
  • Let the ramekins cool for a minute before turning them out to prevent the cake from falling apart.
