Preheat the oven to 350F/180 C and lightly grease two 12-cup muffin tins or ramekins.

2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light. Beat in eggs one at a time.

3. In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Add half of flour mixture to the butter mixture, followed by the sour cream and vanilla extract, followed by the addition of the rest of the flour mix. Stir well between each addition and mix until no streaks of flour remain.

4. Stir the cocoa powder and the dark chocolate into the boiling water. Pour chocolate water into the rest of the batter and stir until uniform.

Evenly distribute batter into prepared baking cups. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until a tester comes out clean and the cakes spring back when lightly pressed.

Turn cakes out onto a wire rack to cool completely before filling.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.

2. Over medium heat, combine milk, butter and vanilla until the butter has melted. Add dry ingredients to the milk mixture, constantly whisking. Boil, stirring constantly until thick and smooth, about 5 or 7 minutes. Cool and refrigerate unused portion

In a large (microwavable) measuring cup or bowl combine the coconut oil and chocolate chips.

2. Microwave in intervals of 30 seconds at 50% power, stirring in between until smooth. Took me 3 intervals to reach the perfect consistency.

3. Drizzle over ice cream and let sit for 30-45 seconds to harden.

4. Store in an air tight container at ROOM TEMPERATURE. (The Magic Shell may harden slightly, but just microwave for a few seconds till it is liquid again.)

Let cakes cool for 10 minutes in pan, then take a knife and loosen the edges. Carefully remove cakes from the pan, and place on a wire rack to cool.

2. Then take a knife and slice the ‘dome’ off the top of the cakes, so they are flat. Once the tops are flat, turn the cakes upside down. Using a sharp knife, cut out a 1-inch circle out of the center of the bottom (now the top) of each cake. The hole should be at least 1-inch deep. Scoop out the chunk of cake and discard. Repeat this process with all the cakes.

Spoon 2 Tablespoons of hot fudge into each of the holes in the cakes.

When ready to serve, take one cake and place on a microwave-safe plate. Heat for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and top with one big scoop of vanilla ice cream, then drizzle on Magic shell. Serve and enjoy!
