How to Make Flourless Chocolate Oh So Good Molten Cake

  1. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  3. Generously butter 6 muffin tins and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar per tin, tapping to distribute evenly.
  4. Melt 6 ounces (170g) of bittersweet chocolate and 6 tablespoons (85g) of unsalted butter using a double boiler or microwave. Stir until smooth and combined.
  5. Remove from heat and sift in 1/4 cup (30g) unsweetened cocoa powder. Stir until smooth.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat 3 large egg whites with 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
  7. Gradually add 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, beating on high speed until stiff, glossy peaks form.
  8. Gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
  9. Fold in the remaining egg whites in two additions, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
  10. Spoon batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about ¾ full.
  11. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still gooey. Add an extra minute if the batter was refrigerated.
  12. Remove from oven and let the cakes cool in the tins for a few minutes. They will shrink slightly.
  13. Place a cooling rack over the pan and invert the cakes onto the rack.
  14. Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar, topped with whipped cream (optional), and fresh berries (optional).
