Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Butter and flour two 6-ounce ramekins.
- In a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate together. Stir until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
- Gradually whisk the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until well combined.
- Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
- 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.
- Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with raspberries.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use high-quality bittersweet chocolate.
- You can make the batter ahead of time and refrigerate it. Bake for an extra minute or two if baking from cold.
