Warm Chocolate and Caramel Cakes
Serves 6

Ingredients:

1 jar good quality caramel sauce
1 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
1/3 cup Dutch process cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup strong brewed coffee, warm
1/3 cup light olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon aged balsamic vinegar
butter, softened

Method of Preparation:

1.    Generously coat six 6-ounce ramekins with softened butter. Chill in the freezer for about 10 minutes, and brush with a second coat of butter. Pour 2 tablespoons caramel sauce into the bottom of each ramekin and transfer to the freezer for 1 hour.
2.    Whisk the cake flour, cocoa, baking soda, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl and set aside. Stir the coffee, oil, vanilla, and vinegar together and whisk into the flour mixture just until smooth.
3.    Fill each ramekin with 1/3 cup of batter. Bake at 400 degrees F until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
