Molten Caramel Cake
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 6 soft caramel candies, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Grease 6 ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly.
- Fold in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until just combined.
- Fill each prepared ramekin halfway with the batter. Place a soft caramel candy in the center of each ramekin, then top with the remaining batter to cover the caramel completely.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
- Let the cakes cool for 1-2 minutes, then run a knife around the edges and invert onto serving plates.
- Serve immediately and enjoy the molten caramel goodness!
