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

Steps

1

Break up the chocolate bar and put in a heatproof bowl with margarine.
2

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

Pour into a ramekin and bake in a 355ºF/180ºC oven for 10 minutes. ※ If using paper muffin cups, shorten the baking time.
5

Use the temperature and baking time in this recipe as a guide and adjust to your own oven.
6

If not eating immediately, microwave for around 30 seconds (at 500 W) to make it melty again.
7

You can use any kind of cocoa and chocolate you like. Milk chocolate is ok too, but it may make it sweeter.
8

Someone said that this turned out delicious without the cocoa, so if you don't have cocoa, try making this anyway.
9

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