Bake the cakes
Place the June Pan with the ramekins on the middle shelf of the June Oven. Bake the cakes 10 minutes, or until they have puffed and the tops are just set. June will notify you when your cakes are ready. If desired, follow directions on your June Oven to continue cooking.
Cool and serve the molten chocolate cakes
Remove the cakes from the June Oven and cool them in the ramekins 1 minute before serving. Dust the cakes with powdered sugar just before serving, if desired, and enjoy them either straight out of the ramekins or turned out onto dessert plates.
