Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Gluten-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 large Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 35 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter. Lightly dust the inside of each ramekin with cocoa powder to prevent sticking. Tap out any excess cocoa powder and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the gluten-free chocolate chips and unsalted butter. Melt in the microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks until light and frothy, about 1-2 minutes.
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Using a sifter, gently fold the gluten-free all-purpose flour into the chocolate mixture, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the sides are set but the centers are still soft and slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for about 1 minute. Carefully run a small knife around the edges to loosen the cakes, then invert onto individual serving plates.
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
