Warm Chocolate Cake for 2

JUMP TO RECIPE

This recipe for these warm chocolate cakes came about when one night I wanted to make a delicious quick dessert but had no eggs!!! I decided to press on and make up a chocolate dessert that had everything but the eggs. It was good, but it could have been better. I have refined this recipe like you wouldn't believe and now it's perfect and ready for you to enjoy with someone (or by yourself-no judgement!!) So now these chocolate cakes are my go-to quick indulgent dessert on those nights you just need something a little bit extra. With a melted chocolate centre and a super fudgy crumb, these cakes only take 10 mins to whip up and are ready in just over 30 mins.

What more could you want in a decadent chocolatey dessert?

Some tips and tricks before you get started

• Have all your ingredients weighed and ready to go before starting.

• If you forget to take the milk out, just warm it in the microwave for 15 seconds until its room temp. You don't want it hot.

• If you want the cakes to bake evenly and the same time weigh out the mixture into the ramekins. There should be 120g-125g per ramekin.
