Individual molten chocolate cupcakes filled with fresh raspberries and gooey chocolate centers — rich, elegant, and perfect for special occasions.
½ cup unsalted butter
6 oz bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp cocoa powder (optional)
12 fresh raspberries
Optional: 6 tsp raspberry jam or chocolate chunks
Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease and cocoa-dust 6–8 ramekins or muffin cups.
Melt butter and chocolate until smooth. Cool slightly.
Whisk eggs, yolks, sugar, and vanilla until foamy.
Mix in chocolate mixture, then fold in flour, salt, and cocoa.
Fill ramekins halfway. Add 1–2 raspberries or jam. Cover with remaining batter.
Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and centers still jiggle.
Cool 2–3 minutes. Invert onto plates or serve warm in ramekins.
Store leftovers in the fridge. Reheat gently in the microwave.
Add extra ganache or raspberry swirl for deeper flavor.
Best served warm for molten effect.
