Ok, so you know how the cake in the picture above looks delicious? Well that's because it is!!! Oh my goodness, it is so good! It is warm and chocolate-y and gooey and overall just fantastic! AND it's super easy!
To make a dozen of these wonderful cakes you will need:
- 3/4 cup of BUTTER
- 12 oz. CHOCOLATE CHIPS
- 1/2 cup HEAVY CREAM
- 5 EGGS
- 3/4 cup SUGAR
- 2/3 cup FLOUR
Add 3/4 cup butter, the chocolate chips, and the heavy cream to a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the contents 30 second at a time, stirring in between, until the ingredients are melted together and smooth.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly so it is no longer hot to the touch. While the mixture is cooling, prepare the cupcake pan. Either coat the cups with some extra melted butter and then sprinkle in the cocoa powder OR just put some nonstick cooking spray in the cups!
After the chocolate mixture has cooled and is just warm, mix in the eggs, sugar, and flour.
Once all of the ingredients are well mixed, fill up the cups in the cupcake pan. They won't rise very much so you can fill them almost all the way to the top. Then refrigerate for a minimum of one hour (and up to a few days).
When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. If you are using a regular sized cupcake pan (12 cupcakes/pan) bake them for 8-10 minutes. If you are using a large cupcake pan (6 cupcakes/pan) bake them for 13-15 minutes.
When the cakes are done they should be set around the sides and most of the top, but be a little runny at the center. (The ones in the picture below are slightly over cooked.) Let them cool for about 5 minutes after taking them out of the oven before removing them from the pan.
Once they have cooled, turn them out onto a cookie sheet or clean surface and get ready to enjoy! I served mine with ice cream and a little bit of chocolate syrup, but whipped cream, caramel sauce, hot fudge, or any number of other things could also make a delicious topping. I highly recommend the ice cream though!
Look how gooey and yummy it is! They even reheat well! Just microwave for about 30 seconds!
**** I made these cakes again and refrigerated the batter for a few days before baking and they baked up a little differently (but were still delicious!) so here are some more pictures below...
You can see in the picture below that the cake has set around the edges but are still a little runny at the center. This is what you want!!
Here is what it looked like when I cut into it! Warm and gooey and yummy!
