Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ramekins
    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Grease four ramekins with butter and dust them with flour.
  2. Melt the Chocolate and Butter
    Melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (au bain-marie).
  3. Whisk the Eggs and Sugar
    In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until the mixture is light and thick.
  4. Combine Ingredients
    Gently fold the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, followed by the flour.
  5. Bake the Cakes
    Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are firm but the centers remain soft.
  6. Serve
    Let the cakes cool for 1 minute, then carefully turn them out onto plates. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately.
