2 tablespoons flour
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Butter and flour 4 (6-ounce) ramekins or baking dishes, tapping out the excess flour.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the flavor of your molten cakes. Opt for a chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) for a rich, decadent taste.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense cakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use ramekins with straight sides: Ramekins with straight sides will help the cakes rise evenly and prevent them from overflowing.
  • Preheat your air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to the desired temperature before adding the ramekins. This will help the cakes cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the cakes: The cakes are done when the centers are still slightly gooey. Overcooking will result in dry, crumbly cakes.

Conclusion:

Air fryer chocolate molten cakes are a quick and easy dessert that is sure to impress your friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create these delicious cakes in minutes. So next time you're craving a chocolate fix, give this recipe a try.
