Valentine's Day dessert the molten cake batter is one of the easiest cake batters to make we're going to start out with some eggs which seem a lot but this recipe does make around eight to ten cakes if that's a lot of molten cakes for you you can definitely half the recipe I've added my sugar and you want to beat the eggs and sugar until they triple in volume and become pale keep in mind this recipe does not contain any leavening agents besides the eggs so we really do need to incorporate air into this mixture in order to give lift to the cakes once your eggs become pale you can go ahead and add the melted chocolate and butter
