Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 150 grams powdered sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 pieces egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 as needed butter or non-stick spray (for greasing ramekins)
- 1 as needed unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter or non-stick spray and dust the insides with unsweetened cocoa powder. Tap out the excess cocoa powder and set the ramekins aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the powdered sugar to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, whisking constantly to combine.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and salt, and gently fold into the batter until no lumps remain.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling each about ¾ full.
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 soft and slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1 minute.
Run a knife along the edges of each ramekin to loosen the cakes, then carefully invert them onto serving plates.
Serve immediately, optionally with a dusting of powdered sugar, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or a spoonful of whipped cream.
