Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Semi-sweet chocolate
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
- Berries (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly butter six 6-ounce ramekins. Dust the ramekins with cocoa powder, tapping out the excess to ensure the cakes don’t stick.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth and well combined. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine.
Sift the flour and add it to the batter along with a pinch of salt. Fold everything together until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains soft and slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of each ramekin, then invert the cakes onto dessert plates.
Dust the warm cakes with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh berries if desired.
