Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 6 dark chocolate truffles
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 220°C (428°F) and grease six individual ramekins or muffin tins with butter. Dust them lightly with flour and set aside.
In a medium heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together over a double boiler or in the microwave (30-second increments, stirring between each). Stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until light and pale (~3-4 minutes).
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until fully combined.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and fold gently. Add the orange zest, vanilla extract, and salt, folding just until incorporated.
Divide the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling each about halfway.
Press one dark chocolate truffle into the center of each ramekin and spoon a little more batter over the top to ensure the truffles are fully covered.
Place the ramekins onto a baking tray and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers still look slightly soft.
Allow the cakes to cool for 1-2 minutes, then run a thin knife along the edges to loosen. Carefully invert the ramekins onto serving plates.
Serve immediately with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar for an additional layer of indulgence.
