How to Make Swedish Chocolate Cake

  1. In a small saucepan, add 1/2 cup of water. The water should just cover the bottom of the pan.
  2. Add 6 ounces (170g) of good quality dark chocolate, broken into small pieces, to the saucepan.
  3. Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among silicon muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (do not overbake).
  7. Let the cakes cool slightly in the muffin cups before serving warm with vanilla ice cream.
