Dark Chocolate Cake with Soft Heart

Prepare the Chocolate Compound:
Melt the dark chocolate with the butter using a double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth and creamy. Allow it to cool slightly. 🍫🫕

Whisk the Eggs:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until light and bubbly. 🥚✨

Combine the Ingredients:
Gradually pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, stirring gently. Add the sifted flour and a pinch of salt, mixing everything until well combined. 🌾🧂

Prepare the Molds:
Butter and lightly flour six individual ramekins or molds. Fill them about 3/4 full with the chocolate mixture. 🫙

Bake in the Oven:
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Place the filled molds in the oven and bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center remains soft and gooey. 🍮🔥

Serve Immediately:
Let the cakes rest for 1-2 minutes, then carefully flip them onto dessert plates. Dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve immediately while the center is still warm and molten. ❄️🍫
