Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the eggs and butter, which will help create a smooth batter. Prepare your baking tools, including a mixing bowl, whisk, and a muffin or ramekin pan.
Step 2: Preheat Your Oven
Temperature: Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). This high temperature is essential for achieving that molten center.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate and Butter
Combine: In a heatproof bowl, combine 200 g of dark chocolate and 150 g of unsalted butter.
Melt: Melt the mixture using a microwave in short intervals (20-30 seconds), stirring in between, or use a double boiler on the stovetop until smooth and glossy. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 4: Prepare the Batter
Whisk Eggs and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs and 150 g of granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and frothy. This should take a couple of minutes.
