Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
- 200 grams frozen or fresh raspberries
- 40 grams powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease four small ramekins with butter. Dust the inside with cocoa powder and tap out any excess.
Melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, large eggs, and egg yolks together until pale and frothy.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, whisking constantly, until combined.
Gently fold the all-purpose flour into the mixture until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft and molten.
While the cakes bake, make the raspberry coulis: In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the raspberries break down and the mixture becomes thick, about 5 minutes.
Press the raspberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a bowl to remove the seeds, creating a smooth coulis.
Once the cakes are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen them, then carefully turn them out onto plates.
Serve the warm chocolate volcanoes with a drizzle of raspberry coulis and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!
