Ingredients

1/2 cup (115g) butter
1 cup (200g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon (5g) vanilla extract
1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon (1.5g) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon (1.5g) salt
1/2 cup (115g) semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

2. In a heat-proof bowl, add the butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth.

3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.

4. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and mix until combined.

5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Don’t overmix.

7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Add 1 tablespoon of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the center of each muffin cup.

8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges of the cakes are set. The center of the cakes should still be slightly soft.

9. Let the cakes cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream, if desired.
