Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 115 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs
- 2 Egg yolks
- 40 grams All-purpose flour
- 10 grams Unsalted butter (for greasing molds)
- 10 grams Cocoa powder (for dusting molds)
- 10 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 2 scoops Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Step 2
Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with unsalted butter and lightly dust them with cocoa powder. Tap out any excess cocoa powder and set the ramekins aside.
Step 3
In a heatproof bowl, combine the unsalted butter (115 grams) and dark chocolate (115 grams). Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar (100 grams), eggs (2 whole), and egg yolks (2). Whisk until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continuously until well-combined.
Step 6
Sift the all-purpose flour (40 grams) into the batter and gently fold it in using a spatula until no streaks of flour remain.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 8
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft and slightly jiggly.
Step 9
Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to rest for 1-2 minutes. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes, then invert each ramekin onto a serving plate.
Step 10
Dust the tops with powdered sugar if desired and serve immediately, ideally paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
