This dessert is inspired by the movie Chef and features a molten dark chocolate and orange filling inside a rich cake. The cake is buttery and rich with a delightful ganache at its heart, making it an indulgent treat for any chocolate lover.
1: Brush the inside of the ramekins with butter then sprinkle in the sugar.
2: In a bowl melt the dark chocolate using a double boiler.
3: Once the chocolate has melted remove it from the double boiler and slowly pour in the cream and mix until combined.
4: Place chocolate mixture in freezer for 1 hour to firm up.
5: Using the double boiler again, melt semi sweet chocolate and butter until smooth. Set aside.
6: In a separate bowl whisk eggs and brown sugar until light and frothy.
7: Stir in salt, vanilla extract and orange zest.
8: Working in batches, slowly add the melted chocolate into the egg mixture, whisk until combined.
9: Add flour and stir to combine.
10: Fill the ramekins halfway with the cake mixture.
11: Remove the ganache from the freezer and drop 2 tablespoons into the center of the cake mixture.
12: Fill the rest of the ramekin with the remaining cake batter.
13: Bake the cake for 11 minutes at 425°F.
14: Once baked run a knife around the edge of the cake to help it release from the ramekin.
15: Place a plate on top of the ramekin and flip, so that the ramekin is on top.
16: Give the ramekin a little shake and the cake should fall right out.
