Decadent Molten Chocolate Cake: A Luxurious Dessert That Melts in Your Mouth

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Generously grease 4 small ramekins with butter and lightly dust with cocoa powder to prevent sticking. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet for easy handling.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate and Butter
In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter.
Melt the mixture over a double boiler or in the microwave (in 20-second intervals), stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3: Whisk the Eggs and Sugar
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until pale and slightly thickened, about 2–3 minutes.
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture, stirring until well combined.
Step 4: Add the Flour
Gently fold the flour into the chocolate mixture until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing to keep the batter light.
Step 5: Fill and Bake
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are soft and jiggly.
Step 6: Serve Immediately
Allow the cakes to cool for 1–2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges, invert onto a plate, and gently remove the ramekin.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with berries, ice cream, or whipped cream.
