Description
Dulce de leche cake on the outside with a molten chocolate center in the middle.
Ingredients
For the chocolate ganache
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
For the dulce de leche cakes
- Baking spray with flour (such as Baker’s Joy)
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 large egg
- 1 2/3 cups canned or jarred dulce de leche
- 2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Sweetened whipped cream or vanilla ice-cream for serving
Instructions
For the chocolate ganache
- Melt chocolate. In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave cream on high for 1 minute or until hot. Add in chocolate. Let stand 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
- Chill. Transfer bowl to the refrigerator and chill chocolate ganache until firm enough to scoop, about 1 hour.
For the dulce de leche cakes
- Prep oven and ramekins. Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray 6 (4-ounce) ramekins with baking spray. Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Beat eggs. Using an electric mixer, beat egg yolks and whole egg in a medium bowl on high speed until doubled in volume and eggs hold a slight ribbon, 2-3 minutes.
- Add other ingredients. Add dulce de leche; beat until well blended. Add flour and beat again until well blended.
- Fill ramekins. Divide batter among the prepared ramekins.
- Add ganache. Remove the ganache from the refrigerator. Spoon 1-2 rounded teaspoons of ganache into the center of the cake batter in the ramekins.
- Bake. Bake cakes in oven until outsides are golden brown in color and the ganache is bubbling, 15-17 minutes.
- Serve. Transfer sheet to a cooling rack. Carefully run a knife around edges of ramekins to loosen cakes; invert onto plates or into shallow bowls. Serve hot with sweetened whipped cream or ice cream.
