Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 oz dark chocolate
- 2 oz milk chocolate
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp granulated sugar
- tiny pinch of salt
- 1 egg, yolk and white separated
- powdered sugar to dust on top, optional

Instructions
- 1
Preheat an oven to 425°F. Grease a ceramic soup bowl or other small oven-safe round container.

Set a heat-resistant medium bowl over a small saucepan filled with simmering water. Add the chocolate to the medium bowl, and allow it to melt over low heat, making sure the medium bowl does not come in direct contact with the water simmering below. Once the chocolate is almost melted, remove and stir the chocolate until it’s completely melted and smooth.

Add the butter to the melted chocolate and stir until the butter has melted and been combined. Add the egg yolk in, followed by the flour, sugar, and small pink of salt. Stir to combine.

In a small bowl, whisk the egg white with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. If you want, you can add a tiny pinch of sugar or sprinkle of cream of tartar to help the process. Gently fold the egg white into the batter until it’s completely incorporated.

Pour the batter into your greased bowl and bake for about 15 to 16 minutes, until the top of the cake looks set and somewhat cracked. Turn off the oven, leave the door open slightly ajar, and let the cake rest inside the oven for approximately 20 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and add a dollop of ice cream or whipped cream.
