Ingredients for Molten Chocolate Cake
Method
Preparation Instructions
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together using a microwave or a double boiler until smooth. Stir well and let cool slightly.
Mix Sugar and Eggs
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, large eggs, and egg yolks until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
Combine Mixtures
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously. Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
Add Flour
Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fill Muffin Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake the Cakes
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center remains soft.
Serve
Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert them onto plates. Serve immediately with a scoop of French vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, and fresh berries.
