Ingredients
4 Servings
- 50 grams all-purpose flour
- 120 grams dark chocolate
- 2 egg yolks
- 2 eggs
- 100 grams powdered sugar
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 5 ml vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Grease four ramekins or custard cups and place them on a baking sheet.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
Step 3
Add the powdered sugar to the melted chocolate mixture and stir until well combined.
Step 4
Whisk in the eggs and egg yolks until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 5
Stir in the vanilla extract and flour until just combined.
Step 6
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto serving plates.
Step 9
Serve immediately, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
