Ingredients

• 200 g Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
• 100 g Unsalted butter
• 100 g Granulated sugar
• 3 Large eggs
• 3 Egg yolks
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 50 g Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 1 Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).

Step 2

Grease six ramekins with non-stick cooking spray and lightly dust them with cocoa powder. Set aside.

Step 3

In a double boiler or a heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together until smooth. Stir occasionally to blend them well.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks. Use a whisk or an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it becomes thick and pale, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, stirring continuously to combine.

Step 6

Add the vanilla extract and mix well.

Step 7

Gently fold in the gluten-free all-purpose flour, the tablespoon of cocoa powder, and salt until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 8

Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.

Step 9

Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are firm but the centers remain soft.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly for 1-2 minutes.

Step 11

Carefully invert each ramekin onto a serving plate. Gently lift and remove the ramekins, allowing the petit gateau to unmold.

Step 12

Serve immediately, optionally with a dusting of powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a scoop of gluten-free vanilla ice cream.
