Servings: 1 cake
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or butter
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup cane sugar
- 2 tbsp whole wheat flour or white whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- In a microwave-safe dish, melt chocolate chips and oil/butter together. I typically put the microwave on for 2:00 and then stop every 30 seconds to stir.
- In a separate bowl, whisk egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and melted chocolate togther; stir in sugar and flour.
- Grease a 6" ramekin with coconut oil, then add half of the batter to it and place 1 tsp of caramel sauce in the center, and then top it off with the rest of the batter.
- Put the ramekin on a baking sheet and into the oven and bake for 16 minutes* or until edges are hardened and center is a bit soft.
- Remove from oven and let them sit for at least 1 minute.
- To remove: run a knife along the edges of the cake to loosen it. Pick up the ramekin in your one hand and put a plate against the chocolate cake side of the ramekin. Carefully turn the ramekin over onto the plate; the chocolate cake should come right out.
- Serve with ice cream, drizzle extra caramel sauce overtop and enjoy!
Notes
*Bake time will vary depending on your oven. I found that 16 minutes worked for me, but you may find that 15 or 17 work best for you.
