A moist, rich chocolate cake with a dark chocolate truffle that melts out when heated. Served with vanilla bean ice cream.

Preheat the Oven

In a heat-proof bowl, combine the dark chocolate and unsalted butter. Melt them together over a double boiler or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth.

Melt Chocolate and Butter

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

Mix Sugar and Eggs

Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring continuously. Add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Combine Mixtures

Gently fold in the all-purpose flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Fold in Flour

Grease four ramekins with butter and dust with cocoa powder. This will help the cakes release easily.

Prepare Ramekins

Divide the cake batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.

Pour Batter and Bake

Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them cool for a minute before inverting onto plates.

Cool Slightly

Serve the petit gateaux warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
