Ingredients
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher)
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Caster sugar
- 50 grams All-purpose flour
- 3 pieces Large eggs
- 0 Extra butter for greasing
- 0 Cocoa powder for dusting
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
Step 2
Grease six ramekins with butter and dust them lightly with cocoa powder, making sure all sides are coated evenly to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the caster sugar and eggs until pale and frothy.
Step 5
Gently fold the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the egg mixture with a spatula, ensuring it is well combined.
Step 6
Sift the all-purpose flour into the chocolate mixture and gently fold it in until smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Step 8
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. The edges should be firm while the center remains soft and gooey.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a minute or two before carefully running a knife around the edges to loosen.
Step 10
Invert the ramekins onto serving plates, give a slight shake, and remove the ramekin to reveal the chocolate cake.
Step 11
Serve immediately to enjoy the molten center, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
