Ingredients
- 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/3 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees . Whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder and baking soda in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl, whisk together egg, milk, applesauce, vegetable oil, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract and sea salt. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and gradually whisk in egg mixture until smooth; divide batter among eight oven-safe mugs or ramekins. Break bittersweet chocolate into 8 pieces and press gently into the center of each mug. Bake 20 minutes or microwave one at a time until puffed and just set in the center, 35 to 40 seconds. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and serve warm.









The cake part was moist and chocolaty, and the filling was gooey! I only had bittersweet baking chips, so I wasn't sure what "1 oz" of those looked like. I think I probably could have added more. In addition, note that it should be 1-cup ramekins (I only had 2-cup ones, which means now I'll have to share). It would have been nice if that had been listed in the recipe. Also, it required every single measuring cup size and has a lot of measurements. In my opinion, though, totally worth it!
