Grandma's Tasty Recipes

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted butter

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

1 1/4 cups unsweetened cocoa powder

2 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp salt

2 cups all-purpose flour

4 tbsp flaxseed meal + 12 tbsp water (to make 4 flax eggs)

Powdered sugar or whipped cream, for topping (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease 8 ramekins or small baking dishes with cooking spray or butter.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flaxseed meal and water to make 4 flax eggs. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to thicken.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the mixing bowl and stir until well combined.

Add the flax eggs to the mixing bowl and stir until well combined.

Gradually add the flour to the mixing bowl, stirring until well combined and the batter is smooth.

Divide the batter evenly between the greased ramekins or small baking dishes.

Bake the cakes in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly gooey.

Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes.

Use a knife to loosen the edges of the cakes from the ramekins or baking dishes.

Invert each cake onto a serving plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar or top with whipped cream, if desired.
