**Ingredients:**
– 8 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 large egg yolks
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Optional: vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for serving
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and generously grease a standard 6-cup muffin tin with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped semisweet chocolate and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the mixture.
3. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and powdered sugar.
4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, vanilla extract, and salt until well combined.
5. Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly until smooth.
6. Gently fold in the flour and powdered sugar mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
8. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.
9. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cakes cool for 1-2 minutes.
10. Carefully run a knife around the edges of each cake to loosen them, then invert the muffin tin onto a baking sheet or serving platter to release the cakes.
11. Serve the Mini Chocolate Molten Cakes warm, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
12. Enjoy the decadent, molten chocolate center oozing out as you dig your spoon into these delightful treats!
