How to Make Chocolate Cakes With Liquid Centers

Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
Butter and flour six 4-ounce ramekins.
Melt 6 ounces of bittersweet chocolate and 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) of unsalted butter together in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs and 2 large egg yolks with ½ cup granulated sugar until light, fluffy, and pale yellow (about 3-5 minutes).
Gently whisk the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Then, gently whisk in ¼ cup all-purpose flour until no dry streaks remain. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Bake for 6-7 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
Let cool for 1 minute before carefully inverting the cakes onto serving plates.
Garnish with fresh strawberries, a dollop of crème fraîche, and a drizzle of your favorite chocolate sauce (optional).
Serve immediately and enjoy the molten chocolate magic!
