Gooey chocolate cupcakes (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cupcakes Mix

01 - 4 oz chopped semisweet chocolate
02 - 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter
03 - 1/2 cup flour (all-purpose)
04 - 1 cup white sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
07 - 2 large eggs

→ Raspberry Center

08 - 1/4 cup cream (heavy)
09 - 4 oz chopped semisweet chocolate
10 - 1/2 cup raspberry jam or preserves

# Instructions:

01 - Turn your oven to 375°F, and line your muffin tin with paper cups to make clean-up easy.
02 - Melt the butter together with the chocolate in a safe bowl, microwaving in short 30-second bursts. Stir every time until smooth, then mix in the sugar till it’s glossy.
03 - Drop in the eggs one at a time, stirring well with each addition. Pour in the vanilla, mixing it in completely.
04 - Slowly fold in the flour and salt until just combined. Don’t stir too much! Evenly divide the mixture into your prepared muffin tin.
05 - Warm the raspberry preserves gently in a small pot until it's more liquid. Remove from the heat, blend in the chocolate until melted, then add the cream while stirring until smooth.
06 - Spoon the chocolatey raspberry filling onto the top of each unbaked cupcake. Be generous with it!
07 - Bake for roughly 12-14 minutes, aiming for the sides to set but leaving the middles soft and gooey for that lava texture.
08 - Cool them for about 5 minutes while still in the tray, then move them to a rack. You’ll want to enjoy them warm while the centers are still melty!

# Notes:

01 - They’re best enjoyed when warm so the centers stay soft and gooey.
02 - Made by Lina Judi, these rich treats combine chocolate’s depth with sweet bursts of raspberry.
