Hot Chocolate Fondant

Serves 2

Ingredients:
50g butter, plus extra to grease
10ml cocoa powder, to dust
50g chocolate in pieces
1 egg
1 egg yolk
60g castor sugar
50g cake flour

Method:
1. Preheat oven to 160°C or 150°C fan oven. Butter two large ramekins, about 7.5cm in diameter, then dust liberally with cocoa.
2. Slowly melt the chocolate and butter in a small bowl set over a pan of hot water, then take off the heat and stir until smooth. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
3. Whisk the whole egg, egg yolk and sugar together until pale and thick, then incorporate the chocolate mixture.
4. Sift the flour over the mixture and gently fold in, using a large metal spoon. Divide between the ramekins and bake for 12 minutes.
5. Turn the chocolate fondants out on to warmed plates and serve immediately.
