Single-Girl Melty Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
[or Melty Chocolate Bourbon Cake]
Serves 1
1/2 tsp butter
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa (for dusting the pan) or use flour or sugar
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup semisweet or bittersweet chocolate chips
1 large egg
4 tsp sugar
1 tbsp peanut butter (natural preferred) OR 1 tbsp bourbon
Pinch of salt
1 tsp flour
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and set a baking she on a rack in the center of the oven. Grease a 3/4 cup ramekin with 1/2 tsp butter, then dust with unsweetened cocoa. Set aside.
Put 1 tbsp butter and the chocolate chips in a small heatproof bowl set over a small pan of simmering water. Heat, stirring until the chocolate melts; let cool a few minutes.
Whisk egg, sugar, and peanut butter (or bourbon) in a small bowl to blend. Whisk in chocolate mixture until well incorporated, then stir in salt and flour until just combined. Pour batter into the ramekin and set on a baking sheet and bake until as done as you like - 7 to 10 minutes for a molten center (A 3/4 ring around the edge will look dull.) Or 10 to 12 minutes for a soft center (cake edge will puff slightly).
Let cake cool 2 minutes. Protecting hands, invert onto a plate and eat right away.
