Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 180 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 3 pieces Egg yolks
- 20 grams Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 10 grams Butter (for greasing ramekins)
- 5 grams Cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Prepare six 180-200ml (6-7 oz) ramekins by greasing them with butter and dusting the insides with cocoa powder. Tap out any excess cocoa powder and set aside.
In a double boiler or heatproof bowl over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until the mixture is pale, thick, and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, being careful not to deflate the batter.
Sift the cocoa powder, salt, and vanilla extract over the mixture. Gently fold these ingredients into the batter until fully combined and smooth.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edges of each cake to loosen and invert onto serving plates if desired. Alternatively, serve directly in the ramekins.
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar, top with fresh berries, or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy your Flourless Chocolate Oh So Good Molten Cake!
