Ingredients
Scale
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
½ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with flour to prevent sticking.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until light and frothy. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously to combine.
Gently fold in the flour and salt until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes. The edges should be firm, while the center remains soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool for about 5 minutes. This allows the molten center to set slightly for easy removal.
In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring gently until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Strain if desired for a smoother sauce.
Run a knife around the edges of the ramekins to loosen the cakes. Invert onto plates and dust with powdered sugar. Drizzle with raspberry sauce.
Notes
Make sure not to overbake the cakes to keep the center gooey.
