Ingredients
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 ramekins and set aside.
- Combine chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave at 15-second intervals until almost melted. Remove from the microwave and stir until chocolate is completely melted and thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- Combine sugar, egg, vanilla extract, and salt in a separate bowl. Pour into chocolate mixture and whisk until combined. Add flour, stirring until combined. Divide batter evenly between both ramekins.
- Bake in the preheated oven until set, 12 to 14 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
- These will appear undone but will continue to bake in the ramekins. For a molten cake, bake for 12 minutes. For a fudgier cake, bake for 14 minutes.
