Date Night Chocolate Fudge Cakes for 2

January 28, 2025
Rich, gooey, and irresistibly chocolatey, these cakes are the ultimate way to end a romantic Valentine's Day!

 

 

 

 

Ingredients:

- 3 ounces (85g) semi-sweet chocolate (3/4 of a standard baking chocolate bar)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons (36g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) beaten egg (crack 1 egg, beat it, and use 2 Tbsp)
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons (46g) all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
- Powder sugar (optional for topping)

Directions: 
  1. Lightly grease two 6-ounce ramekins with butter or nonstick spray. Place them on a baking sheet. Set aside.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  3. Coarsely chop 2 ounces (57g) of semi-sweet chocolate. Reserve 1 ounce (28g) for step 5 (don’t chop). Combine the chopped chocolate and heavy cream in a medium heatproof bowl. Microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each increment until melted and smooth. Whisk in the brown sugar until no lumps remain. Whisk in the oil, 2 Tablespoons of beaten egg, and vanilla extract until combined. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and baking soda together. Pour the dry mixture into the wet ingredients and fold with a silicone spatula until all of the ingredients are combined and there are no lumps. Pour evenly into the ramekins; they should be just about 3/4 of the way full.
  5. Cut the remaining 1 ounce of chocolate in half. Place a piece of chocolate (0.5oz/14g) into the center of each filled ramekin and use a spoon to fully submerge the chocolate.
  6. Bake for 15–17 minutes, rotating the baking sheet at the 8-minute mark.
  7. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. The centers will be slightly gooey, with melted chocolate inside. Serve warm.
