Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Dark chocolate
- 6 oz Unsalted butter
- 4 large Eggs
- 3 oz Granulated sugar
- 2 oz All-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp Butter or non-stick spray (for greasing molds)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the dark chocolate and unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl. Melt them together using a double boiler or microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and slightly thickened.
Gradually add the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg and sugar mixture while stirring continuously.
Sift the all-purpose flour into the batter and gently fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Grease 4 small ramekins (or custard cups) with butter or use a non-stick spray.
Divide the batter evenly between the ramekins, filling them about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes. The edges should be firm, but the center should remain soft and gooey.
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool for 1-2 minutes before using a knife to loosen the edges.
Carefully invert each cake onto a serving plate, or serve directly in the ramekins if preferred.
Optional: Garnish with powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream before serving.
