Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), chopped
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 2 Egg yolks
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Cooking spray or softened butter (for greasing ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Lightly grease 4 ramekins (medium-sized) with cooking spray or softened butter and dust them with a little cocoa powder. Set aside.
In a heatproof bowl set over simmering water (double boiler), melt the chopped dark chocolate and butter together. Stir until smooth and fully combined, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks together until the mixture is pale, thick, and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s well combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt into the bowl and gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in the vanilla extract for added aroma and flavor.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about two-thirds full.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft and slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them rest for 1–2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each ramekin to loosen, then invert them onto plates for serving.
Serve immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a perfect pairing.
