I am a huge fan of chocolate, especially chocolate cake. One day this week I really wanted a good moist chocolate cake, I but didn't want to make a big fancy cake, I wanted something quick and easy. These cute chocolaty treats take 25 minutes to make from start to first bite.
{Gluten-Free}
Molten Chocolate Cake1/2 cup chocolate chips*
1/2 cup butter
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
3 egg whites
4 ramekins
1 tbsp confectioners sugar (for garnish)
Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly grease the ramekins with butter, and set aside. Melt chocolate in the butter in a double boiler, set aside to cool for 5 minutes. Beat egg yolks and sugar then mix into the melted chocolate. Beat egg whites in a bowl until they form soft peaks. Fold the chocolate into the egg whites. Pour batter into the ramekins and bake for 7- 9 minutes. The outside of the cakes will be set and possibly crack but the inside will be moist and liquidity.
Let them cool for a couple minutes, sprinkle with conf. sugar, and dig in with a spoon.
These cups of chocolate cake can be served with ice cream, fresh berries, or whip cream.
*You can use semi-sweet or dark chocolate. I prefer milk chocolate and that's what I used.
What's your favorite chocolate dessert?
OH my goodness, this is a fav of mine! Yum! :)

I've always loved molten chocolate cake, but never had the guts to try one. I put this one in my "just sounds yummy" recipe box, so I'll have to give it a try! Thanks for sharing on Recipe Sharing Monday!
