🍰 Why You’ll Love This Dessert
- Ready in under 20 minutes
- Requires just a few ingredients
- Soft cake outside with a melty chocolate center
- Perfect for special occasions or a quick sweet fix
📝 Ingredients (Serves 2):
- 100g dark chocolate (chopped)
- 80g unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Butter + cocoa powder for greasing ramekins
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prep the ramekins:
Grease two ramekins with butter, then dust with cocoa powder. This prevents sticking and gives the cake a chocolatey crust. - Melt the chocolate & butter:
In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together (microwave or double boiler). Stir until smooth. - Mix the eggs and sugar:
In another bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, and vanilla until light and slightly foamy. - Combine & fold:
Slowly add the melted chocolate to the egg mixture. Then gently fold in the flour and salt until just combined. - Bake:
Pour the batter into the ramekins. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 10–12 minutes — the edges should be set but the center still soft. - Serve immediately:
Let rest for 1 minute, then carefully flip onto a plate. Dust with powdered sugar or add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
💡 Tips for Success:
- Don’t overbake! You want that gooey center 😋
- Use good quality chocolate — it makes a big difference.
- You can prep the batter ahead and bake just before serving.
