Tips

- For the perfect molten center, use high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 55%. - Do not over-mix the batter, as this will result in a cake that is tough and dense. - Use room temperature eggs and butter, as they will help the cake to rise properly. - Bake the cake in a preheated oven, as this will help to prevent the cake from sinking in the middle. - Do not over-bake the cake, as this will result in a cake that is dry and crumbly. - Allow the cake to cool slightly before serving, as this will help the molten center to set. - Serve the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, for a truly decadent dessert.
