Ingredients
  

For the Cake
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chopped
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour

Equipment

  • Ramekins
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease two ramekins and dust with cocoa powder.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a microwave or double boiler. Stir until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, sugar, vanilla, and salt until combined.
  4. Gradually mix the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Fold in the flour until just combined.
