Cooking Steps
1
- Grease 2 small oven-proof ramekins or 3 cups of a muffin tin with 1 tbsp softened butter. (NOTE: If you're using a muffin tin, there will be one molten cake per person and one leftover which can be wrapped tightly in saran wrap once cooled, then frozen.)
- Coat ramekins with 1 tbsp sugar. Carefully tap out excess sugar.
2
- Add chocolate chips and 3 tbsp butter to a medium pot over low heat. Melt, stirring constantly with a spatula, until smooth and glossy, 3-4 min. Remove from heat.
- While chocolate cools slightly, crack one egg and separate yolk from white. Discard egg white. Add egg yolk, remaining egg, icing sugar and 1/8 tsp salt to a medium bowl.
- Beat using a hand whisk or electric mixer until thickened and pale, 2-3 min.
- Add chocolate mixture and 2 tbsp flour to egg mixture. Stir with a spatula until combined, 1 min.
- Carefully wipe the pot clean.
3
- Spoon cake batter into prepared ramekins or muffin tin cups, filling all the way to the top.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until the sides are set but the centre still appears jiggly, 7-8 min.
- Meanwhile, heat the same pot over medium-high.
- While the pot heats, juice lemon.
- When the pot is hot, add 1 tbsp butter, then swirl the pot until melted. Add cranberry spread, honey and 2 tsp lemon juice.
- Remove the pot from heat, then stir until mixture melts, 1-2 min.
4
- Transfer ramekins or muffin tin to a wire rack and let cool for 1 min.
- Run a sharp knife around the inside of each cup.
- Cover both ramekins with a serving plate, then quickly invert both at the same time to unmold cakes. (NOTE: If using a muffin tin, repeat the same motion with a serving plate over top.)
- Divide cakes between plates, then spoon warm cranberry sauce over top

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavor: The molten chocolate cakes were rich and decadent, with the tart cranberry sauce balancing the sweetness for many.
- Ease of prep: Some found the recipe required multiple bowls and was more complex than expected.
- Suggestions: Increase baking time to 14-16 minutes for better cake setting and easier removal from ramekins or muffin tins.
- Leftovers: Consider making extra cakes; they can be wrapped tightly and frozen for later enjoyment.
