Ingredients

  • 400 g dark chocolate (at least 55 per cent cocoa solids)
  • 325 g unsalted butter
  • 6 whole eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 300 g caster sugar
  • 50 g cocoa powder
  • 80 g plain flour

Method

  • Heat the oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Butter and base-line a 20cm-square baking tin with baking parchment.
  • Gently melt chocolate and unsalted butter together in a bowl over hot water until smooth then cool a little.
  • Whisk 6 whole eggs, 2 yolks and caster sugar together until pale. Fold the melted chocolate mix into the eggs. Sieve cocoa powder with plain flour then fold everything together until evenly mixed.
  • Pour into the prepared tin and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until slightly risen at the edges. Allow to cool completely in the tin.
  • Cut into 12 and indulge - you should have a thin crisp crust and a rich, gooey centre.
