Molten chocolate cakelets
Ingredients:
- 7 ounces (200 grams) bittersweet chocolate (70 or 72%), roughly chopped
- 7 ounces (200 grams or 14 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon (20 grams) all-purpose flour
A few notes on making these:
- These are brownie-like with a softer center, and extremely rich—a perfect little bite if you’re craving something sweet.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve with some berries for an elegant dessert.
Directions:
- Place chocolate and butter in a large heatproof bowl. Either over a saucepan of simmering water or in the microwave in 15- to 30-second bursts, stirring frequently, melt the two together.
- Off the heat, whisk in sugar, which will cool the mixture down. Whisk in salt, then eggs, one at a time. Stir in flour.
- Heat oven to 325°F.
- Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with butter and then a layer of granulated sugar.
- Spoon batter halfway into each cup and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of cakelets comes out batter-free.
- Let cool on a rack for 5 to 10 minutes before unmolding.
