instructions
    1

    Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit).

    2

    Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth, about 5 minutes.

    3

    In another bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until frothy and light in color, which should take about 5 minutes.

    4

    Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, combining well.

    5

    Sift in the all-purpose flour and gently fold until just combined; be careful not to overmix.

    6

    Add the vanilla extract and stir to incorporate.

    7

    Grease a muffin tin with butter or cooking spray, and evenly divide the batter into 6 cups.

    8

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.

    9

    Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes before gently inverting onto plates.

    10

    Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

How to be creative
  • Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty contrast.
  • Incorporate orange zest into the batter for a citrus twist.
  • Top with seasonally fresh berries for a fruity complement.
Important Tips
  • Use the highest quality dark chocolate for best flavor.
  • Don't overbake; the center should remain gooey for that perfect molten texture.
  • Experiment with different flavor extracts, like almond or hazelnut.
