Warm Double Chocolate Brownie Cakes

Servings : 8 cakes

Ingredients

5 oz butter

5 oz milk chocolate, chopped

3 T cake flour

1/3 C all-purpose flour

1/2 C cocoa powder

1/2 t salt

2 eggs

3/4 C sugar

1/2 t vanilla

vanilla ice cream (optional)

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare 8 cups in a standard-sized muffin pan with butter and flour.

Melt butter in a saucepan and take off the heat. Add 1/5 (1 oz) of the chopped chocolate and whisk until melted. Cool slightly.

Whisk together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder and salt.

Beat eggs with the sugar until pale and thick and the mixture ribbons when you lift the whisk, about 5 minutes. Add vanilla extract. Beat in the melted chocolate and butter and then add the dry ingredients in three additions, scraping down the bowl. Stir in remaining chopped chocolate.

Portion the cake batter into prepared muffin cups and bake for about 22 minutes or until cakes are risen and spring back when lightly touched. Cool cakes in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out on a wire rack. Serve warm with ice cream.
