Description
A rich chocolate cake with a molten strawberry center, baked in a dome shape.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 6-cup dome-shaped mold or a standard muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon half of the batter into the prepared mold(s).
- Spoon the strawberry jam into the center of the batter.
- Top with the remaining batter, ensuring the jam is completely covered.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake part comes out clean. The center may still be molten.
- Let the cakes cool in the mold for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- For an extra burst of strawberry flavor, you can add a few fresh strawberry pieces to the jam.
- Ensure the jam is thick enough to not leak out during baking.
- Serve warm to enjoy the molten center.
