Method
Directions
Melt Chocolate and Butter
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Mix the Batter
In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolk until well combined. Add the melted chocolate mixture and mix well. Fold in the flour and salt until just combined.
Add Ganache Center
Pour half of the batter into each ramekin. Add a tablespoon of salted caramel sauce in the center of each, then top with the remaining batter.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the edges are firm but the center is still soft.
Cool and Serve
Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully invert onto plates. Serve immediately with fresh berries, sweet cream, and additional salted caramel sauce.
Prepare the Sweet Cream
In a bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
