Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 110 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 grams High-quality dark chocolate (at least 70% cacao)
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter (for greasing ramekins)
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for dusting ramekins)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).
Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with butter, then dust with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess.
In a double boiler, or a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 110 grams of unsalted butter and 170 grams of dark chocolate together. Stir until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 150 grams of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
Sift 50 grams of all-purpose flour over the chocolate mixture and fold gently until no flour streaks remain.
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 but the center remains soft.
Carefully remove the ramekins from the oven and allow them to cool for 1 minute.
Run a knife around the edges of each cake and invert them onto individual plates.
Serve immediately, optionally with a dusting of powdered sugar or a scoop of your favorite nut-free ice cream.
