For an extra touch of elegance, try adding a raspberry or two to the center of each cake before baking. Do not overbake! The key to a perfect molten lava cake is a gooey, molten center. If you don't have ramekins, you can use muffin tins. Adjust the baking time accordingly (they may cook faster). High-quality chocolate makes a big difference in this recipe. Use the best you can afford. For a richer flavor, try using dark chocolate with a higher cocoa percentage.
