This classic recipe lets me bring together two of my great passions: chocolate and Le Creuset! It can be made with the Le Creuset ceramic mini cocottes or with the Set Coeurs Fondants Emile Henry. I hope you like it!
Ingredients
(for 4 servings)
- 200gr dark chocolate
- 170gr butter
- 4 egg yolks (large)
- 4 eggs (large)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup flour
- The zest of one orange
- A little cocoa powder
Preparation
- Grease the mini cocottes with a little butter and flour to keep the chocolate batter from sticking. Tap to remove any excess flour.
- Melt the butter and chocolate together over a double boiler, stirring until well combined. Let it cool to room temperature (indoors).
- Beat the yolks and eggs with the sugar until stiff peaks form, then slowly add to the chocolate mixture. Sift flour over the mixture and stir until well combined. Finally, add the zest of one grated orange (you can reserve a little for decoration).
- Fill the mini cocottes with the batter and bake for 12 to 15 minutes in a preheated 200ºC oven. When the cakes rise slightly, they’re done.
- Dust the tops with a little cocoa powder, garnish with a little orange zest, and serve immediately.
