Oreo Molten Cakes (Print-Friendly Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Cake
01 -
1 tsp baking powder
02 -
1 cup of chopped semisweet chocolate
03 -
3/4 cup of milk, either low-fat or fat-free
04 -
2 tbsp of veggie oil
05 -
1/2 cup regular all-purpose flour
→ Filling
06 -
1/2 cup of cold milk (low-fat works)
07 -
1/4 cup of instant pudding mix, Oreo flavor
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Take a little bowl and toss in the pudding mix along with the cold milk. Whisk it by hand so it’s bump-free. Let it chill on the counter for 5 minutes to set up into pudding.
02 -
Set the oven to 350°F. Coat four 4-ounce ramekins with a spritz of oil that’s also got flour, or grease and dust them with flour, tapping them to remove extras.
03 -
Put the milk and chocolate chunks into a big bowl. Pop it in the microwave under a towel safe for microwaves, heat for one minute, then stir until it's nearly melted. Microwave again for another minute if needed. Stir until silky. You can also carefully melt them together over a steaming pot on the stove.
04 -
Pour the melted chocolate mix into the other cake ingredients. Whisk them together until your batter is nice and smooth.
05 -
Scoop batter into the ramekins until they’re halfway full. Spoon 2 tbsp of pudding into the middle of each, then cover it up with more batter so the filling’s fully hidden. The ramekins should be about two-thirds full.
06 -
Slide the ramekins onto a baking tray and bake them for 17-18 minutes. The tops should feel slightly firm when touched.
07 -
Take the cakes out of the oven. Use a small spatula to loosen each from its ramekin. Place a plate over the ramekin, flip it, and give it a gentle tap to release. Enjoy right away while warm!
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Make sure to grease and flour ramekins really well to avoid sticking.
02 -
Eat while hot for the best melty center experience.
