In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 egg yolks, 25g cake flour, and 1 tbsp vanilla extract.

Cook this mixture over low heat until thickened, then remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

In another bowl, whip 4 egg whites with a pinch of cream of tartar until soft peaks form.

Gradually add 40g sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

Fold the meringue into the chocolate mixture gently until combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared soufflé dish and bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 15 minutes.

Serve immediately and enjoy.
