Ingredients

• 200 grams dark chocolate
• 150 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons orange zest
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 6 dark chocolate truffles

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) and grease six individual ramekins or muffin tins with butter. Dust them lightly with flour and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a double boiler or in the microwave (30-second increments, stirring between each). Stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until light and pale (~3-4 minutes).

Step 4

Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until fully combined.

Step 5

Sift in the all-purpose flour and fold gently. Add the orange zest, vanilla extract, and salt, folding just until incorporated.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling each about halfway.

Step 7

Press one dark chocolate truffle into the center of each ramekin and spoon a little more batter over the top to ensure the truffles are fully covered.

Step 8

Place the ramekins onto a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers still look slightly soft.

Step 9

Allow the cakes to cool for 1-2 minutes, then run a thin knife along the edges to loosen. Carefully invert the ramekins onto serving plates.

Step 10

Serve immediately with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an additional layer of indulgence.
