Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 120 grams Semi-sweet chocolate
- 1/3 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 2 pieces Egg yolks
- 1/4 cup All-purpose flour
- 1/8 teaspoon Salt
- 4 teaspoons Nutella
- 1 teaspoon Butter (for greasing ramekins)
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter, then dust the insides with cocoa powder. Tap out any excess cocoa powder and set the ramekins aside.
In a small saucepan or a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate together. Stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until pale and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the bowl with the chocolate mixture. Fold gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide half of the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Place 1 teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each ramekin, then top with the remaining batter to cover the Nutella completely.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. Carefully run a knife around the edges of each cake to loosen them, then invert onto serving plates.
Serve immediately, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or paired with vanilla ice cream.
