Ingredients

4 oz dark chocolate (70% cocoa)

2/3 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

2 large egg yolks

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and generously butter four ramekins.

5. Sift in the flour and carefully fold until just combined.

6. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared ramekins.

7. Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake for 12-14 minutes until the edges are firm but the center remains soft.
