Preparation

  1. 1 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease 4 individual ramekins with non-stick spray.
  2. 2 In a large bowl, whisk together the whey-casein protein, cocoa powder, flour, sugar, and salt.

The Batter

  1. 1 Add the egg whites and hot water to the dry ingredients, whisking until smooth and glossy. Do not overmix to keep the cakes tender.
  2. 2 Divide the batter evenly among the 4 prepared ramekins.

Bake and Serve

  2. 2 Let the cakes rest in the ramekins for 2 minutes before carefully inverting onto plates.
  3. 3 Optional: dust with a tiny amount of powdered sugar and top with fresh raspberries before serving immediately.

Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 2

To achieve the perfect molten center, test one cake first; if the center is too firm, reduce bake time by 1-2 minutes.

Tip 2 of 2

Using a high-quality Dutch-processed cocoa powder will significantly deepen the chocolate flavor without adding extra sugar.
