Molten Chocolate Cakes

This French dessert is a chocolate dream. Since dark chocolate is said to have aphrodisiac effects, we should enjoy this little delicacy with someone we like.

Ingredients (for 4 cakes):

• 3/4 cup dark chocolate (min. 66% cocoa content)
• 2/3 cup butter
• 3 eggs
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 packet vanilla sugar
• 1/2 cup flour
• A pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp ground almonds

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Melt the chocolate together with the butter in a water bath.
3. Mix the eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, and flour together.
4. Combine the chocolate mixture with the egg-sugar-flour mixture.
5. Grease muffin molds (about 2.5 inches in diameter) with butter and sprinkle with the ground almonds.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared molds and bake for 8-10 minutes.
7. Serve warm and enjoy.

Tip: Serve with a scoop of ice cream and some strawberry puree.
