Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 120 grams Semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
- 4 teaspoons Nutella
- 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing ramekins)
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter, then dust the insides with cocoa powder. Tap out any excess cocoa powder and set the ramekins aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan or a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate together. Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Step 5
Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the bowl with the chocolate mixture. Fold gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Divide half of the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each ramekin, then top with the remaining batter to cover the Nutella completely.
Step 7
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.
Step 8
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. Carefully run a knife around the edges of each cake to loosen them, then invert onto serving plates.
Step 9
Serve immediately, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or paired with vanilla ice cream.
