Description

A rich and soft cake with a warm, gooey chocolate center, perfect for a delicious treat.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Raspberries, for serving


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Butter and flour two 6-ounce ramekins.
  2. In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together. Stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
  4. Gradually whisk the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
  5. Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Do not 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 and the center is still soft.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with raspberries.

Notes

Use good chocolate for the best taste. Watch the bake time carefully; overbaking will firm up the center.
