Method

For the Warm Chocolate Cake

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a 6-cup muffin tin by greasing it with butter or lining it with parchment paper.

  2. 2

    Melt Chocolate and Butter

    In a heatproof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix Sugar and Eggs

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg and sugar mixture until well combined.

  5. 5

    Add Flour and Seasoning

    Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the mixture, then fold gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

  6. 6

    Add Vanilla Extract

    Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed.

  7. 7

    Bake the Cakes

    Pour the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.

  8. 8

    Cool and Prepare to Serve

    Allow the cakes to cool slightly in the tin for a few minutes before inverting onto plates.

For the Black Cherry Sauce

  1. 9

    Cook the Cherries

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the frozen black cherries and sugar. Cook for about 5 minutes until the cherries start to release their juices.

  2. 10

    Thicken the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Add this to the saucepan along with the lemon juice. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

  3. 11

    Cool Slightly

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.

For Garnish

  1. 12

    Prepare the Garnish

    Dust the warm chocolate cakes with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves before serving.
