Equipment
- 6 oz ramekins
Ingredients
For the Ganache Centers
- 1/3 cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
- 3 tbsp Heavy Cream
For the Batter
- 3/4 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/2 cup Whole Milk
- 1/4 cup Plain Yogurt
- 1/4 cup Melted Butter
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Heat the heavy cream until steaming, pour it over the chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Freeze the ganache for 20 minutes, then scoop it into 4 balls and keep them chilled.
- Preheat the oven to 425 F. Grease four 6 oz ramekins and dust them lightly with cocoa powder.
- In a bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the milk, yogurt, melted butter and vanilla, then stir into the dry ingredients just until smooth.
- Fill each ramekin halfway with batter, place a chilled ganache ball in the center, then cover with the remaining batter.
- Bake for 13 to 14 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.
- Let the cakes rest for 2 minutes, run a thin spatula around the edges and invert each onto a plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately while the centers are molten.
