Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Grease four ramekins with butter and dust them with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.

  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), stirring occasionally until smooth and fully melted. Remove from heat.

  3. 3

    Mix Sugar, Eggs, and Vanilla

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and whisk for another minute until slightly frothy.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Slowly pour the melted chocolate and butter mixture into the sugar and egg mixture, stirring gently to combine.

  5. 5

    Add Flour and Salt

    Sift in the all-purpose flour and add a pinch of salt. Fold the mixture gently until just combined; do not overmix.

Baking

  1. 6

    Fill Ramekins

    Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full to allow for rising.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Place the ramekins in the preheated oven and bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.

  3. 8

    Cool and Serve

    Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for 1-2 minutes. Carefully invert each ramekin onto a plate and gently lift it off to reveal the fondant. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
