Molten Chocolate Cake

Individual French-style chocolate cakes with a softly set exterior and a warm, flowing dark-chocolate center. A brief rest after baking makes them easy to turn out while preserving their signature molten texture.

Zubereitung

1
Heat the oven to 220°C. Butter four 180 ml ramekins thoroughly, then dust each with a little flour, tapping out the excess. Set them on a small baking sheet.
2
Melt the butter and chopped chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water, stirring until glossy and completely smooth. Remove from the heat and cool for 3 minutes.

3
Whisk the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a separate bowl for 2–3 minutes, until the mixture is slightly thickened and the sugar begins to dissolve.
4
Whisk the warm chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until uniform. Fold in the flour just until no dry streaks remain; do not overmix.
5
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake on the middle rack for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are firm and risen but the centers still quiver when gently shaken.
6
Rest the ramekins for 1 minute. Run a thin knife around each edge, invert onto warm dessert plates, and lift away the ramekin. Serve immediately while the centers are flowing.

Warum dieses Rezept gelingt

A hot oven sets the outer ring quickly while the butter-rich chocolate batter remains fluid in the center. A small amount of flour provides enough structure to unmold the cakes without turning them into ordinary chocolate sponge.

Aufbewahren und Aufwärmen

So bewahrst du es auf

Cover unbaked filled ramekins and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Baked cakes are best served immediately; refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.

So wärmst du es auf

Reheat a chilled baked cake in a 160°C oven for 6–8 minutes, just until warmed through. The center may be less molten after reheating.
