Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 200 grams unsalted butter
- 4 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 200 grams caster sugar
- 100 grams plain flour
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter for greasing
- 1 tablespoon flour for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
Grease six individual ramekins with butter, then lightly dust with flour. This will help the cakes release easily.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a pot of simmering water. Stir until smooth, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and caster sugar until thick and pale, about 3-5 minutes.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
Sift the plain flour and cocoa powder together, then gently fold into the chocolate and egg mixture.
Add the vanilla extract and gently mix until all ingredients are incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes. The fondant should look set on the outside but still soft in the center.
Remove from the oven and let them sit for about 1 minute.
Carefully run a knife around the edges of each fondant to loosen them, then turn them out onto serving plates.
Serve immediately with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
