• Ingredients:
  • 200 g chopped dark chocolate
  • 5 eggs
  • 60g oat flour
  • 70g erythritol or sugar
  • 20g cocoa powder
  • 200 g butter cut into pieces

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Butter a round mold or individual ramekins and sprinkle with cocoa powder.
2. Melt the chocolate and the butter :
   • In a heatproof bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and butter. Melt them together in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth and well mixed. Let it cool slightly.

3. Mix the dry ingredients:
   • In another bowl, sift together the oat flour, cocoa powder and erythritol (or sugar). Put aside.
4. Prepare the dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture, whisking continuously to combine.
   • Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
5. Bake the cake:
   • Pour the batter into the prepared pan or distribute it evenly among the ramekins.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 to 12 minutes if using ramekins, or 18 to 20 minutes if using a larger dish. The edges should be set, but the center should remain soft and gooey.
6. Serve hot :
   • Let the cake cool for a few minutes before serving. Carefully run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto serving plates.

Enjoy this delicious molten chocolate cake, a decadent treat perfect for any chocolate lover and for any special occasion!
