Chocolate Molten Cake Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking.

2. 2

   Melt Chocolate and Butter

   In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.

3. 3

   Mix Sugar and Eggs

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

4. 4

   Combine Mixtures

   Pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture. Stir until combined.

5. 5

   Add Flour and Vanilla

   Sift in the all-purpose flour, add vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Gently fold until just combined.

6. 6

   Fill Ramekins

   Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.

7. 7

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.

8. 8

   Serve

   Let the cakes sit for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
