Why not dive into these Dark Chocolate Pots for a dessert one evening this week. A no fuss dessert that will be sure to win you over. A sponge cake layer and a chocolate sauce layer for extra goodness.
On to what we have here in front of us. Very chocolatey and kind of sweet melt in your mouth dark chocolate pots. We served them straight out of the oven on their own, but I think vanilla ice cream would push them over the top.
Notes About The Dark Chocolate Pots
- This is a dessert that needs to be served immediately upon removing from oven. It deflates a few minutes after being removed from the oven. Also, if you leave it too long the sauce will start to set and it won’t be as utterly delicious as it is meant to be.
- However, you can prepare the dry ingredients before hand and have everything ready to go just before baking.
- Great served with whipping cream or ice cream.

Dark Chocolate Pots
Ingredients
Bottom layer:
- 1 Cup flour
- 1/3 Cup white granulated sugar
- 1/2 Cup brown sugar
- 1/3 Cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla
- 3/4 Cup milk
- 1/3 Cup butter melted
Top layer:
- 1 1/3 Cups boiling water
- 1/3 Cup brown sugar
- ¼ Cup cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease 4 individual ramekin dishes. Place the dishes in a large deep sided baking dish and fill the pan with water. Fill about 2 inches up the side of the pan.
- Combine all dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Melt the butter and set aside. Whisk the vanilla into the milk. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the butter and milk. Gradually pull the dry ingredients into the milk mixture in the center and mix until completely combined. Pour the mixture evenly into your four prepared dishes.
- For the top layer, combine all the ingredients and stir until it becomes a chocolate liquid. Pour over the chocolate mixture in each individual dish.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the top comes out with just a few crumbs on it.
