- 50 g Caster Sugar

Instructions
- Prepare the Ramekins: Coat the inside of your bowls with butter. Dust them with cocoa powder and tap out extra.
- Melt Chocolate and Butter: Put chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Melt them slowly over simmering water until very smooth.
- Whisk Eggs and Sugar: Beat the eggs and sugar in a bowl. Do this until the mix is pale and thick.
- Combine the Mixtures: Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mix. Fold them together gently so you keep the air.

- Chill the Batter: Pour the mix into your prepared ramekins. Let them sit in the fridge for ten minutes.

- Rest and Serve: Let them sit for one minute after baking. Turn them onto a plate and serve immediately.
Notes
➔ Use high-quality chocolate with at least 70% cocoa solids.
➔ Butter the ramekins twice to prevent the cake sticking.
➔ Do not overbake or the center will become solid.
➔ Use room temperature eggs for a much smoother batter.
➔ Sift your flour to avoid any small flour clumps.
➔ Tap the ramekins to remove any trapped air bubbles.
➔ Serve the cakes while they are still very hot.
