Rich and decadent molten chocolate cakes with a gooey, flowing center, perfect for an indulgent dessert. These individual cakes are quick to prepare and deliver a restaurant-quality treat at home.

Ingredients

  • 200 g dark chocolate (good quality)
  • 200 g unsalted butter
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup plain flour
  • Butter, for greasing
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).
  2. Grease 4 ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess.
  3. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
  4. Add icing sugar to the melted mixture and stir well to combine.
  5. Add eggs and egg yolks, whisking until smooth.
  6. Stir in the flour until just combined.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
  8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until the edges are set but the center remains soft.
  9. Let stand for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto serving plates.
  10. Serve immediately while the center is molten.

Notes

  • Do not overbake or the centers will lose their molten texture.
  • Can be prepared ahead and refrigerated; bring to room temperature before baking.
  • Serve with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
  • Run a knife around edges if cakes do not release easily.
