Warm cake topped with melting ice cream is a traditional endnote to a special occasion. And every spoonful -- with a bit of chocolate and a bit of vanilla, a little cold and a little heat -- is pure romance.

Ingredients

For the Batter

½ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
¾ teaspoon baking powder
⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
⅓ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ cup whole milk
1 ounce (about ¼ cup) white chocolate, chopped into ¾-inch pieces

For the Topping

2 ½ tablespoons granulated sugar
2 ½ tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
¼ cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder
¾ cup boiling water
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Directions

Make the batter: Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in center. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside.
Stir together butter, sugar, and vanilla in another medium bowl. Stir in flour mixture and milk, then the chocolate.
Make the topping: Stir sugars in a small bowl, smoothing any lumps. Sift in cocoa powder; stir to combine.
Place 3 ramekins (each 3 1/2 inches in diameter and 1 1/2 inches deep) on a baking sheet. Pour in batter. Sprinkle with topping. Pour 1/4 cup boiling water into each. Bake until set, 25 to 28 minutes. Top with ice cream; serve immediately.
