My Secret Molten Chocolate Cake

I wanted a little something sweet, but nibbling on a chocolate bar just wasn't satisfying. So, I adapted a larger recipe into this easy version. I adjusted the ingredient amounts and through a lot of trial and error, I finally came up with this recipe.

If you bake it too long, it will turn into regular chocolate cake, so be careful But it will still be good like that ) If you make it without sugar, the inside will turn out moist instead of melty, so follow the amount of sugar listed in the recipe. Recipe by Necchan

Ingredients

1 serving
  1. 1/2bar Chocolate bar (I recommend dark chocolate)
  2. 2 tbspMargarine or butter
  3. 1/2Egg
  4. 1 tbspSugar
  5. 1 tbspCocoa powder (I used Van Houten's)
  6. 2 tbspCake flour

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Break up the chocolate bar and put in a heatproof bowl with margarine.

  2. 2

    Microwave uncovered, for 40 seconds. Mix with a whisk to melt the chocolate. Preheating the oven to 355ºF/180ºC.

  3. 3

    Add an egg and sugar to the mixture from Step 2 and mix well with a whisk. Add cocoa powder and cake flour and mix well.

  4. 4

    Pour into a ramekin and bake in a 355ºF/180ºC oven for 10 minutes. ※ If using paper muffin cups, shorten the baking time.

  5. 5

    Use the temperature and baking time in this recipe as a guide and adjust to your own oven.

  6. 6

    If not eating immediately, microwave for around 30 seconds (at 500 W) to make it melty again.

  7. 7

    You can use any kind of cocoa and chocolate you like. Milk chocolate is ok too, but it may make it sweeter.

  8. 8

    Someone said that this turned out delicious without the cocoa, so if you don't have cocoa, try making this anyway.

  9. 9

    Margarine can make it a little salty, so if that bothers you, use unsalted butter instead.
