Recipe type: EASY
Makes: 6-8 baby cakes
Ingredients
  • Dark Chocolate, 350 grams
  • Butter, 50 grams
  • Caster sugar, 150 grams
  • Vanilla Extract, 1 teaspoon
  • Eggs,4
  • All Purpose Flour, 50 grams or 4 tablespoons
Method
  1. Melt chocolate on a bain-marie or microwave on 15 second intervals until glossy and smooth.
  2. Butter 6 ramekins and lay a disc of butter paper on the bottom. Set aside to be used later.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk butter, sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy for about 3-4minutes with an electric whisk.
  4. Add eggs 1 at a time, whisk each egg properly before adding the next.
  5. Next, add in in the flour, and finally add in the melted chocolate. Using the help of a spatula mix all the ingredients properly and pour in the prepared ramekins. Fill them until they're about ¾th full.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees celsius for about 10 minutes. Or if you want to serve them later, keep the batter in the fridge and bake for 12 minutes right before serving. The extra 2 minutes are because the batter will be cold to start with.
  7. Once baked, you could either serve them in the ramekins or invert them on a plate and serve with some vanilla ice cream.
