Ingredients

  • For the Cupcakes:

    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
    • 4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    For the Raspberry Filling:

    • 1/2 cup raspberry preserves
    • 4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chopped chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Mix in the granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Prepare the Batter: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
  4. Make the Raspberry Filling: In a small saucepan, heat the raspberry preserves until liquefied. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped chocolate until smooth. Mix in the heavy cream.
  5. Assemble the Cupcakes: Spoon the raspberry filling evenly over the cupcake batter in each muffin cup.
  6. Bake: Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  7. Cool & Serve: Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve warm for the best molten lava experience!

Notes

  • Fruity Twist: Swap raspberry preserves for strawberry or blackberry preserves.
  • Nutty Delight: Add chopped hazelnuts or almonds to the batter for a crunchy texture.
  • Extra Indulgence: Top with whipped cream or chocolate ganache for a decadent finish.
