How to Make Best Ever Peanut Butter Chocolate Molten Cakes
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-ounce custard cups or ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Microwave on high for 1-minute intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth.
- Whisk in the sugar until well combined.
- Whisk in the whole eggs and egg yolks one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide half of the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon of peanut butter into the center of each ramekin.
- Top with the remaining batter.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft and molten.
- Let the cakes cool for 1 minute before carefully running a small knife around the edges to loosen.
- Invert the cakes onto dessert plates.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
