Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons (57g) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing ramekins
- 2 ounces (57g) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) heavy cream
- 1/4 cup (50g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon (8g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting ramekins
- Pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream (optional)
- Chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and flour the ramekins thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter, chocolate, and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- Whisk in the peanut butter until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole egg, egg yolk, and sugar until light and slightly thickened.
- Gently fold the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Sift flour and salt over the mixture and fold in gently until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft. Doneness test is a slight jiggle in the centre.
- Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute before inverting them onto plates.
- Dust with powdered sugar, top with vanilla ice cream, and sprinkle with chopped peanuts, if desired. Serve immediately.
