How to Make Easy Chocolate Molten Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and flour four 6-ounce ramekins or oven-safe mugs.
  2. In a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler), melt the butter and chocolate together, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar until combined.
  4. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before carefully inverting the cakes onto plates.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
