For the Chocolate Molten Cake

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

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

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

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

  3. 3

    Mix the Batter

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined. Slowly add the melted chocolate mixture and mix until smooth. Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined.

  4. 4

    Fill Ramekins

    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.

  5. 5

    Bake

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates. Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla-bean ice cream, topped with roasted peanuts and drizzled with salted caramel.
