How do you make a delicious molten chocolate cake?

Ingredients 7 1/2 ounces semisweet chocolate, 2 ounces dark chocolate 11 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in large pieces 3 large eggs 3 large egg yolks 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted

Directions Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

Butter and flour 12 cupcake cups.

Chop 12 small cubes of semi sweet chocolate. Set aside.

Place the remaining semisweet chocolate, dark chocolate and the butter in a metal bowl, and set it over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Cool slightly.

Using a standard electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs, yolks and sugar at medium-high speed until they are pale and thick, about 10 minutes.

Reduce the speed, and gradually mix in the flour.

Add the chocolate mixture to the flour mixture, and continue to beat until thick and glossy, about 5 minutes.

Divide half of the mixture among the prepared cupcake cups. Place one piece of the chopped chocolate in each of the cups in the center of the batter. Then top with the rest of the chocolate batter.

Bake until the cake is set around the edges but the center jiggles slightly when the cup is moved, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly (no more than 5 minutes).

Turn the cakes out onto plates, and serve with ice cream.
