Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter (plus extra for greasing)
- 170 grams semi-sweet chocolate
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 45 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Lightly grease 4 ramekins or small oven-safe bowls with butter, then dust with a small amount of flour, shaking off the excess. Set aside.
Melt the butter and semi-sweet chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment) until smooth. Let cool slightly.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and powdered sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 1-2 minutes.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to ensure the eggs do not scramble.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, followed by the flour. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined.
Divide the batter equally between the prepared ramekins, filling each about 2/3 of the way 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 soft and slightly jiggly.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes, then invert them onto serving plates.
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with powdered sugar, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
