Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate chopped
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/3 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

How To Make chocolate sinkholes

  • Step 1
    Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler, stirring occasionally.
  • Step 2
    Allow to cool to room temperature.
  • Step 3
    Preheat oven to 325.
  • Step 4
    Sift all the sugar, flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside.
  • Step 5
    In another bowl, beat the eggs and vanilla until incorporated.
  • Step 6
    Slowly stir in the sugar/flour mixture just until everything is combined.
  • Step 7
    Divide the batter among 6 (6 ounce) ramekins.
  • Step 8
    Arrange the cups in a baking dish or roasting pan and fill the dish with enough cool tap water to come one third of the way up the sides of the cups.
  • Step 9
    This water bath assures that the bottom portions of the cakes remain in a batter state.
  • Step 10
    Bake for 35 minutes, or until tops are firm.
  • Step 11
    They will look crusty, and a fissure is likely to open in the middle of each.
  • Step 12
    Serve warm with ice cream.
