Time 3m

Yield Yield: 1 mug cake

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
½ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
1 large egg yolk
½ tsp. vanilla extract
3 Tbsp. sour cream
½ tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. kosher salt
3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. Dutch-processed cocoa powder
3 Tbsp. semisweet chocolate chips
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

Stir together the oil and sugar in a 12- or 14- ounce ceramic, microwave- safe mug, using a fork. Stir in the egg yolk and vanilla, and then the sour cream. Stir in the baking powder and salt, and then the flour and cocoa powder.
Stir in the chocolate chips and microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes, depending on your microwave (in my microwave, 1 ½ minutes is just about golden). The cake is done when it rises above the edge of the mug (or close to it) and its top looks glossy and set, but not wet.
Let cool briefly- it will collapse-sorry, but true. The center will be more molten-like than cake-like, very soft, and very hot-be careful! Enjoy ASAP with vanilla ice cream.

Number Of Ingredients 19

Ingredients

RECIPE HALVED FOR 1 SERVING:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, chopped, plus 1 ounce broken into 4 equal pieces
1/4 cup sugar (1 3/4-ounces)
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (1 1/4-ounces)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 ounce bittersweet chocolate, chopped, plus 1 ounce broken into 4 equal pieces
2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

Microwave butter and chopped chocolate in large bowl, stirring often, until melted, about 1 minute. Whisk sugar, eggs, cocoa, vanilla, and salt into chocolate mixture until smooth. In separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Whisk flour mixture into chocolate mixture until combined. Divide batter evenly between 2 (11-ounce) coffee mugs. Place mugs on opposite sides of microwave turntable. Microwave at 50 percent power for 45 seconds. Stir batter and microwave at 50 percent power for 45 seconds (batter will rise to just below rim of mug). Press 2 chocolate pieces into center of each cake until chocolate is flush with top of cake. Microwave at 50 percent power for 35 seconds (cake should be slightly wet around edges of mug and somewhat drier toward center). Let cakes rest for 2 minutes. Serve.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the cake will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%).
Don't overcook the cake: The cake should be cooked just until the center is melted and gooey. If you overcook it, the cake will be dry and crumbly.
Serve the cake immediately: Molten chocolate cake is best served warm, right out of the oven. If you let it cool, the chocolate will start to solidify and the cake will not be as gooey.
Add a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream: This is a classic way to serve molten chocolate cake and it adds a delicious creamy contrast to the rich chocolate cake.

Conclusion:

Molten chocolate cake is a delicious and indulgent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a molten chocolate cake that will impress your friends and family. So, what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
