Molten Chocolate Cake Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat Oven

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust them with cocoa powder.

2. 2

   Melt Chocolate and Butter

   In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water, combine the unsweetened chocolate and unsalted butter. Stir until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. 3

   Mix Sugar and Eggs

   In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, large eggs, and large egg yolks until well combined and slightly frothy.

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until fully incorporated.

5. 5

   Add Dry Ingredients

   Gently fold in the all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. 6

   Pour into Ramekins

   Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.

7. 7

   Bake

   Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft.

8. 8

   Cool and Serve

   Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Carefully invert onto dessert plates and serve immediately with fresh raspberries and scoops of tahitian vanilla ice cream.
