# What You’ll Need:

→ Chocolate & Dairy

01 - 120 g dark chocolate (minimum 60% cocoa), chopped
02 - 100 g unsalted butter, plus additional for greasing
03 - 2 tablespoons whole milk

→ Dry Ingredients

04 - 60 g all-purpose flour
05 - 100 g powdered sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

→ Eggs

08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 2 large egg yolks

→ For Serving (optional)

10 - Powdered sugar, for dusting
11 - Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 220°C. Generously butter four 180 ml ramekins and dust them lightly with flour, removing any excess.
02 - Using a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and incorporate the whole milk.
03 - In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, egg yolks, and powdered sugar together until the mixture becomes thick and pale.
04 - Gently fold the melted chocolate mixture into the whisked egg mixture until smoothly combined.
05 - Sift flour, ground cinnamon, and salt over the batter. Fold in these dry ingredients until just integrated.
06 - Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared ramekins.
07 - Bake in the oven for 11 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
08 - Allow to cool for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edges to loosen, then invert each cake onto a plate.
09 - Dust with powdered sugar and serve promptly, optionally accompanied by vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
