Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 oz (170 g) white chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing ramekins
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) all-purpose flour, sifted (or gluten-free flour blend for GF option)
  • 1 cup (about 120 g) fresh raspberries, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Generously butter your ramekins, then dust with a little flour to prevent sticking. Tap out the excess flour and set ramekins aside.
  2. Melt the white chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy. Let cool slightly but don’t let it harden.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar vigorously for about 3-4 minutes, until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
  4. Slowly fold the melted white chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula, being gentle but thorough to keep as much air as possible.
  5. Sift the flour over the batter and fold it in carefully until just combined—do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in fresh raspberries, saving a few for garnish.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes. The tops should be set with a slight dome, but the center will still be soft and tender.
  9. Remove from oven and let the cakes rest for 1-2 minutes. Run a small knife around the edges to loosen them, then invert each ramekin onto a dessert plate.
  10. Serve immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar and extra fresh raspberries. Optionally, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Melt chocolate gently to avoid seizing. Butter and flour ramekins well to prevent sticking. Bake timing is crucial to maintain the molten center. You can prepare batter up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate. For dairy-free or gluten-free versions, substitute ingredients accordingly. Serve immediately for best molten effect; reheat gently if needed.
