Description
Rich, individual chocolate cakes with a molten pistachio center.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons finely ground pistachios
- 1 teaspoon pistachio extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour two 6-ounce ramekins.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, egg yolk, and sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
- Gently whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
- Stir in the flour and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide half of the batter between the prepared ramekins.
- Mix the ground pistachios and pistachio extract into the remaining batter. Spoon this pistachio batter evenly over the chocolate batter in the ramekins. Top with the remaining chocolate batter.
- Place the ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. The edges should be firm, but the center should still be soft.
- Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute. Carefully invert each cake onto a serving plate. Serve immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour for a gluten-free option.
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
