Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 f
2
Get two 8 ounce ramekins (or four 4 ounce ones) and spray with baking spray
3
In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter and sugar
4
Then add the vanilla and egg and whisk until combined
5
Sift the cacao powder, baking powder, salt, flour, and (optional) instant coffee into a small bowl
6
Add the dry ingredients to the wet and stir with a spatula until combined
7
Divide the batter evenly into the ramekins
8
Bake in the oven for 23-25 minutes for 4 ounce ramekins or 28-30 for the 8 ounce ones. They should be slightly domes when done, but if they aren't that's fine.
9
Let cool for a few minutes. The center will fall so you can put stuff on top like raspberries or crushed KitKat.
