Indulge in these decadent Raspberry Chocolate Lava Cupcakes, featuring a rich, molten chocolate center infused with luscious raspberry preserves and fresh raspberries. Perfect for chocolate and fruit lovers alike, these moist cupcakes bake quickly, delivering a gooey surprise in every bite.

Ingredients

For the Cupcakes:

  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

For Filling and Topping:

  • 12 fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the tin: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Melt chocolate and butter: In a heatproof bowl, gently melt the chopped semi-sweet chocolate and unsalted butter together until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Whisk eggs, sugar, and salt: In a separate bowl, whisk the 2 large eggs, 2 large egg yolks, granulated sugar, and salt vigorously until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and slightly frothy.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually whisk the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture, then gently fold in the all-purpose flour, ensuring not to overmix to keep the batter light and airy.
  5. Fill muffin cups: Spoon the batter evenly into each muffin cup, filling about halfway. Add a teaspoon of raspberry preserves and one fresh raspberry into the center of each, then cover with remaining batter to encase the filling.
  6. Bake: Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and molten.
  7. Serve: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to maintain the lava center’s gooey texture.
  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture contrast.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use a higher quality semi-sweet chocolate.
  • Powdered sugar dusting is optional but adds a nice visual and slight sweetness.
  • These cupcakes are best enjoyed warm for the molten center effect.
