Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 300g | Sugar |
| 150g | All-purpose flour |
| 2 | Eggs |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 4 tbsp | Butter, melted |
| 150g | Dark chocolate, chopped |
Instructions
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit). 🔥
-
Prepare the Pan: Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper. 📜 Grease and flour the parchment paper and the sides of the pan. This will ensure the cake doesn’t stick!
-
Mix Eggs and Butter: In a mixing bowl, lightly whisk the eggs with a fork. You don’t need to go crazy here, just enough to break the yolks. Then, mix in the melted butter until well combined. 🥚🧈
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the sugar, all-purpose flour, and salt. This is where the magic happens! 🌟
-
Bring it Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg and butter mixture. Stir until everything is nicely combined. You should have a smooth, chocolaty batter. 🍫✨
-
Bake Away: Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan. Spread it out evenly. Pop it into the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes. ⏰
-
Don’t Panic: After 20 minutes, your cake might still look a bit wobbly and undone. Don’t fret! That’s exactly what we’re going for here. The gooey, molten center is what makes this cake so special. 🤤
-
Cool Down: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan. This will help it set slightly, but remember, it’s meant to be gooey! 🍰
-
Serve and Enjoy: When you’re ready to indulge, transfer the cake (with the parchment paper!) to a serving plate. This will make it easier to handle that delicious gooeyness. Serve each slice with a generous dollop of whipped cream. 🍨
Tips and Tricks
- For an extra decadent touch, add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter.
- Don’t overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients. We want a tender, gooey texture, not a tough cake!
- This cake is best enjoyed warm, so don’t wait too long to dive in. 😉
So there you have it! A simple, no-fuss recipe for a Gooey Chocolate Cake that’s sure to bring back memories and create new ones with every bite. Enjoy the indulgence, and maybe share a slice or two with a friend. After all, some things are just better when shared. 💖🍰
