Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Spoon
  • Oven
  • Ramekins

Make It

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and prepare the ramekins*. Grease five 6oz ramekins with butter and dust with flour or Toll House® cocoa. Place on a baking sheet and set aside. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate with the butter. Stir until smooth. Add La Lechera® sweetened condensed milk, eggs, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Fold in the flour and instant coffee.

Step 2

Spoon the batter evenly into the ramekins or muffin cups leaving some room at the top of the mold for the cakes to rise.

Step 3

Bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes until the sides are slightly firm, but the tops still look a little soft.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and let them rest for 1 minute. Using an oven mitt, cover with a plate, invert, and turn over.

Step 5

Dust the top with cocoa powder and serve immediately as is or with a scoop of ice cream for an extra decadent treat!

Tips

If you do not have ramekins, you can use a muffin tin. If using a muffin tin reduce the bake time to 8-10 minutes. To remove the cakes from the muffin tin, gently use a spoon to release the cakes and place them upside down on a plate to serve.
