Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces good quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • Pinch of salt
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Generously butter and flour two 6-ounce ramekins.
  2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until pale and slightly thick.
  4. Whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
  5. Gently fold in the flour, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
  7. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. The edges should look set, but the center should still be soft.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for one minute. Carefully invert each cake onto a serving plate.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best molten center flavor.
  • For an extra spice kick, add a tiny pinch of black pepper to the dry ingredients.
  • These cakes are best served fresh from the oven.
