Why You’ll Love This Recipe:
- It’s foolproof and comes together in no time.
- The center stays gooey and fudgy—like the best part of a molten lava cake!

Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
How to Make It (Step-by-Step):
- Preheat Your Oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream the Butter and Sugar – Use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. This step makes your pie soft and rich!
- Add Eggs and Vanilla – Mix in the eggs and vanilla by hand. This keeps the mixture gooey and ensures the perfect fudge-like texture.
- Incorporate the Dry Ingredients – Add cocoa powder, salt, and flour. Stir gently by hand until everything is well combined.Pro Tip: Avoid using an electric mixer here! Mixing by hand keeps the pie gooey. Using a mixer could make it more like a brownie or cake.
- Pour and Bake – Grease an 8-inch pie pan with butter or cooking spray, pour the batter into the pan, and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set but still soft.
- Cool and Serve – Let the pie cool slightly before serving. For an extra treat, pair it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup.

This pie is pure comfort in every bite. It’s easy enough for a weeknight dessert but decadent enough to wow your guests. The gooey center will melt in your mouth, creating a chocolate-lover’s dream with every forkful.
