Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 4 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Medium.
- 150 g dark chocolate (about 60% cocoa), chopped
- 100 g butter, plus extra for the ramekins
- 2 eggs, plus 2 egg yolks
- ⅓ cup (75 g) caster sugar
- ⅓ cup (50 g) plain flour
- Cocoa, for dusting the ramekins
- Icing sugar and ice cream, to serve (optional)
Method
- Butter 4 ramekins (about 200 ml each) and dust with cocoa — this is what lets the cakes turn out.
- Melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth. Cool slightly.
- Whisk the eggs, yolks and sugar until pale and thick, then fold in the chocolate, then the flour. Do not overmix.
- Fill the ramekins three-quarters full. Bake at 200°C for 11–12 minutes — the tops should be set with a distinct wobble in the centre.
- Rest 1 minute, run a knife around the edge, turn out onto plates, and serve within moments while the centres run.
