Ingredients
Scale
For the Cakes:
- 4 oz dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
Instructions
- 1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 2. Prepare Ramekins: Grease four ramekins with butter and dust lightly with flour.
- 3. Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in short bursts (20 seconds), stirring until melted and smooth.
- 4. Mix Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until light and fluffy. Add the melted chocolate mixture, followed by flour and chopped pistachios. Stir until just combined; do not overmix.
- 5. Fill Ramekins: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
- 6. Bake: Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for about 12-14 minutes until edges are firm but centers remain soft. The tops should look set but jiggle slightly when shaken.
- 7. Serve: Let sit for one minute before transferring to plates. Serve immediately while warm for that perfect molten center.
