kcalIngredients
1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
1/2 cup (100g) dark chocolate, chopped 🍫
1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Vanilla ice cream or fresh berries for serving 🍓🍦
Directions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust them with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: In a heatproof bowl, melt the butter and dark chocolate together over a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
- Mix Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and powdered sugar until frothy. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Gently fold in the flour and salt until just incorporated.
- Fill Ramekins: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft and jiggly. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute.
- Serve: Run a knife around the edges to loosen the cakes, then invert them onto plates. Serve immediately with vanilla ice cream or fresh berries for a delicious contrast!
Notes
- Be careful not to overbake—10-12 minutes ensures a molten center!
- You can prepare the batter in advance and bake just before serving.
- Add a pinch of instant espresso powder to enhance the chocolate flavor.
