Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 30 grams gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease four ramekins with a bit of butter and dust them with cocoa powder to ensure easy release after baking.
Step 2
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until thick and pale in color.
Step 4
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula until well combined.
Step 5
Sift the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt into the batter and gently fold until just combined, ensuring there are no flour streaks.
Step 6
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling them almost to the top.
Step 7
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be firm while the center remains soft and jiggly.
Step 8
Remove from oven and allow to rest for 1-2 minutes before carefully inverting each ramekin onto a serving plate.
Step 9
Serve immediately for the best molten center effect. Optionally, dust with confectioners' sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
