Ingredients

130g unsalted butter

130g dark chocolate, 70% cocoa solids

3 Eggs

1 egg yolk

100g icing (powdered) sugar

2 Oranges, zest only

70g plain (all purpose) flour

1 tbsp Cocoa powder

1 tsp Baking powder

Directions

Melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl placed over a pan of barely simmering water.

Combine the eggs and yolk with the icing sugar and orange zest; stir into the chocolate and butter mixture.

Sieve the flour, cocoa and baking powder and fold into cake batter. Leave this mixture to rest for 1 hour.

Brush 6 ramekins with melted butter and dust-out with cocoa powder.

Pipe or spoon the rested cake batter into the prepared ramekins and chill for a minimum of 3 hours or longer - 12 hours is ideal.

Bake the puddings at 180C/gas 4/350F for between 8-10 minutes. The sponge should be just set, and the centre still a little soft.

Leave to rest for 2 minutes before turning out. If you greased and cocoa'ed, they come out very easily
