Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 100 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 2 units eggs
- 2 units egg yolks
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut rum
- 30 grams sweetened shredded coconut
- 10 grams unsalted butter (for greasing ramekins)
- 5 grams cocoa powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease four individual ramekins with butter and dust them lightly with cocoa powder. Tap out any excess cocoa.
Melt the dark chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, whole eggs, and egg yolks. Whisk vigorously or use an electric mixer until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking continually to combine.
Sift in the flour and gently fold it into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Add the coconut rum and sweetened shredded coconut to the batter, folding gently to incorporate evenly.
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 edges are set and the centers are slightly wobbly.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Run a thin knife around the edges to loosen the cakes if needed.
Invert each cake onto a serving plate or serve directly in the ramekin. Garnish with additional shredded coconut, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce if desired. Serve warm.
