Directions

01

Prepare the ramekins

Preheat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Generously butter two ramekins, making sure to coat the sides in upward strokes (this helps the cake rise cleanly). Dust with cocoa powder and tap out the excess. Place in the fridge until needed. A cold ramekin helps the outer layer set faster than the centre.
