Ingredients

US CustomaryMetric

• ▢ 4 Tablespoons butter (divided)
• ▢ 2 Tablespoon flour
• ▢ 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
• ▢ 2 ounces baking chocolate (unsweetened)
• ▢ 2 Tablespoons peanut butter
• ▢ 2 teaspoons powdered sugar (plus some for dusting at end)
• ▢ ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
• ▢ 5 Tablespoons sugar (divided)
• ▢ 1 large egg
• ▢ ½ teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.
• Melt 1 teaspoon butter and brush it onto the inside of two 7 ounce ramekins.
• Combine 1 teaspoon flour and 1 teaspoon cocoa powder. Dust the insides of the ramekins, tapping to remove excess.
• Place the ramekins on a sturdy baking sheet and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine 3 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons sugar and the baking chocolate and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted.
• In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon softened butter, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix well and set aside.
• In a medium mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl, beat 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, egg, and vanilla at medium-high speed about 3 minutes. Gently fold in the melted chocolate and 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons of flour.
• Fill each ramekin about 1/2 full with batter.
• Divide the peanut butter mixture evenly among ramekins and spoon on top in the center of the batter.
• Cover with the remaining chocolate batter.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are slightly cracked and edges feel firm, but the centers are still slightly wiggly.
• Transfer to a wire rack and let cool 5 minutes.
• Use a knife to loosen the cakes from the sides of the ramekins. Place a small plate over each ramekin and invert. Gently wiggle each ramekin to release the cakes.
• Dust each with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
