Ingredients

• 200 grams dark chocolate
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 30 grams gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 100 grams granulated sugar
• 3 eggs
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F). Grease four ramekins with a bit of butter and dust them with cocoa powder to ensure easy release after baking.

Step 2

In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract until thick and pale in color.

Step 4

Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture using a spatula until well combined.

Step 5

Sift the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt into the batter and gently fold until just combined, ensuring there are no flour streaks.

Step 6

Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling them almost to the top.

Step 7

Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The edges should be firm while the center remains soft and jiggly.

Step 8

Remove from oven and allow to rest for 1-2 minutes before carefully inverting each ramekin onto a serving plate.

Step 9

Serve immediately for the best molten center effect. Optionally, dust with confectioners' sugar or serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
