Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup (150 grams) granulated sugar
- ⅔ cup (113 grams) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
Flour and Powder:
- ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon (55 grams) all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup (35 grams) unsweetened cocoa powder (Dutch-process preferred)
Seasoning:
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners, ensuring easy removal of the baked treats.
- Create a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring occasionally until the mixture becomes smooth and glossy.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into a separate bowl, breaking up any potential lumps and ensuring even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a large mixing bowl, whip the eggs and sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes thick, pale, and forms ribbons when the beater is lifted – approximately 4 minutes of vigorous mixing.
- Gradually incorporate the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, folding gently to maintain the airiness of the batter.
- Carefully fold the sifted dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, stopping just as the ingredients are combined to prevent overmixing.
- Distribute the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle additional chopped chocolate on top for an extra indulgent touch.
- Transfer the muffin pan to the preheated oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, watching for a toothpick test that reveals moist crumbs rather than wet batter.
- Remove from the oven and let the muffins rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing the texture to set and intensify.
Notes
- Microwave or double-boiler melting techniques ensure smooth chocolate integration, creating a luxurious base for these decadent treats.
- Whipping eggs and sugar until pale and thick provides the crucial aeration that gives these muffins their signature light yet intense chocolate character.
