Ingredients

• 120 grams Bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
• 120 grams Unsalted butter
• 120 grams Powdered sugar
• 2 Large eggs
• 2 Egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 30 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F).

Step 2

Grease four 6-ounce ramekins with a little butter or non-stick cooking spray. Place them on a baking sheet for easy transportation.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.

Step 4

Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly, then whisk in the powdered sugar until well combined.

Step 5

Add the whole eggs, egg yolks, and vanilla extract to the chocolate mixture, whisking until smooth and blended.

Step 6

Gently fold in the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each around 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers are still soft. The top will appear set but will jiggle slightly when shaken.

Step 9

Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them sit for 1 minute. Use a small knife to gently loosen the cakes from the edges.

Step 10

Carefully invert each cake onto a serving plate. Let them rest for an additional minute before removing the ramekin.

Step 11

Serve immediately, optionally with a dusting of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
