How to Make Best Ever Peanut Butter Chocolate Molten Cakes

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-ounce custard cups or ramekins and place them on a baking sheet.
  2. 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.
  3. Whisk in the sugar until well combined.
  4. Whisk in the whole eggs and egg yolks one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Gently fold in the flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide half of the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  7. Spoon 1 tablespoon of peanut butter into the center of each ramekin.
  8. Top with the remaining batter.
  9. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft and molten.
  10. Let the cakes cool for 1 minute before carefully running a small knife around the edges to loosen.
  11. Invert the cakes onto dessert plates.
  12. Serve immediately and enjoy! Optional: Dust with powdered sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
