Chocolate Molten Cake Recipe

Baking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the ramekins

   Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour, tapping out the excess.

2. 2

   Melt chocolate and butter

   In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth and combined.

3. 3

   Mix the batter

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until pale and frothy. Gradually fold in the melted chocolate mixture, then sift in the flour and fold until just combined.

4. 4

   Fill ramekins

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

5. 5

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are firm but the centers are still soft.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from the oven and let sit for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate, serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
