How to Make Molten Chocolate Cakes With Sugar Coated Raspberries

  1. Melt 4 ounces (113g) of unsalted butter and 6 ounces (170g) of bittersweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
  2. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt with a hand mixer until sugar dissolves and the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually beat the egg mixture into the melted chocolate until completely smooth.
  5. Gently fold in 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour or matzo meal until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Position oven rack to the middle position.
  7. Line a standard muffin tin with 8 extra-large muffin liners and lightly grease with cooking spray.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is still slightly soft.
  10. Let the cakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully lifting them out.
  11. Remove the muffin liners and transfer the cakes to dessert plates.
  12. Top each cake with sugared raspberries (recipe below) and serve immediately.
