Ingredients
- 6 oz Dark chocolate
- 6 oz Unsalted butter
- 4 large Eggs
- 3 oz Granulated sugar
- 2 oz All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Butter or non-stick spray (for greasing molds)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Place the dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl. Melt them together using a double boiler or microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Step 4
Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture while stirring continuously.
Step 5
Sift the all-purpose flour into the batter and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Grease 4 small ramekins (or custard cups) with butter or use a non-stick spray.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly between the ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
Step 8
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. The edges should be firm, but the center should remain soft and gooey.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool for 1-2 minutes before using a knife to loosen the edges.
Step 10
Carefully invert each cake onto a serving plate, or serve directly in the ramekins if preferred.
Step 11
Optional: Garnish with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream before serving.
