Yes, you read that right. Hot and gooey Mars Bar cakes? Enough said.

150g dark (40% ) chocolate, chopped
100g unsalted butter, chopped
5 large eggs, at room temperature
95g caster sugar
1/2 cup (75g) plain flour
1 Mars Bar, cut into 6 pieces
Whipped cream, to serve

Method

1.

Grease 6 x 1 cup (250ml) moulds and line bases with baking paper. Place chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (don’t let bowl touch the water). Cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth.
2.

Whisk eggs and sugar in a large bowl until smooth and sugar has dissolved. Whisk chocolate mixture into egg mixture, then sift over flour and stir to combine.
3.

Fill each mould with 1/4 cup batter. Place a piece of Mars Bar in the centre and cover with remaining batter. Chill overnight.
4.

Preheat oven to 210°C/190°C fan-forced. Place a baking tray in oven to preheat. Bake cakes straight from fridge on preheated tray for 13 minutes. Stand for 5 minutes. Turn onto serving plates. Serve with whipped cream.
