Dark Chocolate Molten Cakes

Once a week Ricky and I like to experiment making fun desserts. For his birthday I got him some custard cups. We tested them out last night and found a new favorite. We made our own version of molten cake from various recipes we've seen. It was so yummy! The perfect ratio of cake to "molten" chocolate. It was perfect served straight from the oven with a scoop of ice-cream (or two or three) on top. It was even better than Chili's molten cakes. We had to dump the boys in the tub immediately after eating this because they were both covered in chocolate.


1 - 6.8 oz Dark Chocolate Hershey's Bar (milk chocolate would probably work too, but the dark was excellent)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
3 eggs
6 Tablespoons flour

  1. Preheat oven to 425. Spray four custard cups with cooking spray. Place cups on baking sheet.
  2. Microwave chocolate and butter on HIGH one minute or until butter is melted. Stir with a whisk until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in powdered sugar until blended. Blend in eggs. Stir in four.
  3. Bake 13 minutes or until sides are firm but centers soft. Let stand one minute. Run small knife around edges to loosen cake. Invert cakes into dessert plates or bowls.
  4. Serve with ice-cream.
