Molten Chocolate Cakes
2 Sticks of butter
8 Ounces of semisweet chocolate chips
5 Large eggs
1/2 cup of sugar
Pinch of salt (If using salted butter leave this step out)
4 tsp of flour
8 Extra large paper muffin cups (if using regular muffin cups this recipe makes 12 cakes)
Garnish: 1 6-ounce container raspberries, barley moistened and rolled in about 1/2 cup of sugar right before serving
Melt butter and chocolate in double boiler, remove from heat. Beat eggs, sugar and salt with a hand mixer in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Beat egg mixture into chocolate until smooth. Beat in flour until just combined.
Before serving dinner, adjust rack to middle position; heat oven to 450 degrees. Spray muffin papers with cooking spray. Divide batter among muffin cups. Bake until batter puffs but center is not set, 8-10 minutes. Carefully lift cakes from tin and set on a work surface. Pull papers away from cakes and transfer to dessert plates. Top each with sugared raspberries and serve immediately.

*I only cook these for about eight minutes so that the insides are still liquidish and I don't take the cakes out of the cups it takes too long and by the time you serve them they are cold. Which is no bueno. For the raspberries I only add two spoonfuls of sugar instead of a half cup which is plenty but be sure to do this right before you serve your desert or else the raspberries will get super gross!
Jessica, I love you. You are so entertaining!
