While the butter is melting, whisk 3 eggs with caster sugar until light, pale, and fluffy.

Once the butter is melted, remove the bowl from heat and add dark chocolate, stirring until fully melted.

Pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and mix until combined.

Sift in 2-3 tablespoons of flour and fold gently using a spatula until just incorporated.

Pour the batter into a buttered baking dish.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Bake for about 20 minutes until the exterior is slightly cakey but the interior has a nice wobble.
