Ingredients
  

Cupcake Batter
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips The darker, the better for that rich flavor.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Helps provide moisture and richness.
  • 1 cup powdered sugar For sweetness and texture.
  • 2 large eggs Acts as a binding agent.
  • 2 large egg yolks Adds richness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract A touch of warmth and depth.
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Builds the structure.
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries A burst of tartness.
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances flavors.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Microwave in short bursts (about 30 seconds), stirring between each until completely melted and smooth.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate mixture, powdered sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Sift in the all-purpose flour and pinch of salt. Gently fold until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the fresh raspberries.
  6. Grease your cupcake molds or ramekins and evenly distribute the batter, filling them about 2/3 full.
Baking
  1. Place the filled molds in the oven and bake for about 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  2. Let the cupcakes cool for a minute before running a knife around the edges. Invert them onto a plate to enjoy the lava effect.

Notes

These cupcakes are best served immediately to maintain that gooey texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
