Ingredients
  

  • 200 g dark chocolate
  • 200 g butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 100 g all-purpose flour
  • 16 cherries pitted

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  • Butter and flour 8 individual ramekins or oven-safe cups.
  • In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and creamy.
  • Gradually add the chocolate mixture to the egg mixture, stirring constantly.
  • Sift in the flour and fold it into the batter until well combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each halfway.
  • Place 2 cherries in the center of each ramekin. Top with more batter to cover the cherries completely.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly jiggly.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes.
  • Gently run a knife around the edge of each cake and invert onto serving plates.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!
