Step 2

Cream the butter and sugar till light and fluffy.

Step 3

Add the egg and almond/vanilla extract (if desired), beating thoroughly.

Step 4

Sift the flour, cocoa and baking powder and add to the batter. Mix thoroughly.

Step 5

Divide the batter into the two ramekins are bake in the preheated oven for 9 minutes.

Step 6

The cakes should look done on top, with a slight wobble. Unmould and serve warm!

​

It’s best eaten straight out of the oven to preserve that molten centre.
Also, because of the semi-cooked state of this pudding, do try to use quality eggs (free range or organic).
