Ingredients
Scale
- 6 ounces (170g) high-quality gluten-free dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (30g) gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Powdered sugar and fresh berries for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and flour two 6-ounce ramekins with gluten-free flour.
- In a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (or microwave in 30-second intervals), melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
- Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture until combined.
- Whisk in the gluten-free flour and salt until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared ramekins.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still soft. The cooking time may vary depending on your oven; the cake should have a molten center.
- Let the cakes cool for a minute or two before inverting them onto plates.
- Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries, if desired. Serve immediately.
