Ingredients
4 people
- 200 gDark chocolate (chopped)
- 150 gUnsalted butter (cubed)
- 4 pcEgg (at room temperature)
- 100 gWhite sugar
- 50 gWheat flour (sifted)
- 1 pinchFleur de sel
Method
A thin crust that cracks under the spoon, revealing a molten and intense heart. The scent of warm cocoa fills the room as soon as the oven opens.
- 1
Melt the chocolate and butter in a bain-marie. The mixture should be smooth, shiny, and coat the spatula without resistance.
- 2
Whisk the eggs with the white sugar. The mixture should double in volume and become frothy, forming a ribbon when the whisk is lifted.
- 3
Pour the melted chocolate over the eggs. Add the sifted wheat flour and fleur de sel. Mix gently to maintain the volume.
- 4
Bake at 180°C. Remove when the edges are set but the center is still trembling and soft to the touch.
Frequently asked questions
How do you get this dish right?
- Use chocolate with at least 65% cocoa for a balanced bitterness.
- Do not over-whisk after adding the flour to avoid making the batter elastic.
How long does this dish keep?
Keeps for 2 days at room temperature under a cake dome. Do not refrigerate, as it will solidify the heart.
