Ingredients

Scale

4 tablespoons (56 g) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
5 ounces dark or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
2 (100 g) eggs, at room temperature
2 (50 g) egg yolks, at room temperature
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons (27 g) all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
1 tablespoon (5 g) unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa powder
â…› teaspoon kosher salt
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease four 4-ounce ramekins with butter and place in a casserole dish.
Melt chocolate and butter in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla until combined.
Whisk vigorously until the egg mixture is pale yellow and thickens.
Gradually add melted chocolate mixture, whisking constantly.
Mix in gluten-free flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.
Pour batter into prepared ramekins, filling about 3/4 full.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges are set but the center is still soft.
Let cool slightly, then dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve warm.

Notes

Ensure the oven is fully preheated for consistent baking.
For best results, use room-temperature eggs for easier mixing.
Avoid overbaking to maintain a gooey center.
Optional: serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
