Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
  • 4 ounces (115g) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (25g) all-purpose flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
  • Fresh berries or whipped cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Generously butter and flour two (6-ounce) ramekins.
  2. In a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave), melt the butter and chopped bittersweet chocolate. Stir until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
  4. Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined.
  5. Sift the flour and salt over the chocolate mixture and fold until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
  7. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft and molten.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for about 1 minute.
  9. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate.
  10. Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar and with fresh berries or whipped cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use good quality bittersweet chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Do not overbake, or you will lose the molten center.
  • These cakes are best enjoyed fresh from the oven.
