Ingredients
- 1 box devil's food cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 1.25 cups water
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 1 as needed non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and spray six ramekins (6-ounce size) generously with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the devil's food cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until the batter is smooth and lump-free.
Step 3
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Step 4
Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about halfway.
Step 5
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate mixture into the center of each ramekin. Gently press the chocolate into the batter but do not mix.
Step 6
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cakes are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
Step 7
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each cake to loosen them, then carefully invert onto serving plates.
Step 8
If desired, dust the tops with powdered sugar for garnish. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey chocolate center!
