Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 pieces of chocolate (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter and 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter together for 30 seconds. Stir until smooth.
- Add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Mix until well combined.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until just combined.
- Divide half of the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place a piece of chocolate in the center of each ramekin, then top with the remaining batter, covering the chocolate completely.
- Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
- Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then run a knife around the edges and invert onto serving plates. Serve immediately and enjoy the molten peanut butter goodness!
