dark chocolate
🥗Healthier: dark chocolate with stevia
💰Cheaper: semi-sweet chocolate
Semi-sweet chocolate is more affordable and widely available.
unsalted butter
🥗Healthier: coconut oil
💰Cheaper: margarine
Margarine is a cost-effective substitute for butter.
all-purpose flour
🥗Healthier: almond flour
💰Cheaper: cake flour
Cake flour can be cheaper and yields a lighter texture.
powdered sugar
🥗Healthier: erythritol
💰Cheaper: granulated sugar
Granulated sugar is often less expensive than powdered sugar.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Grease six 6 oz ramekins with vegetable spray or butter and dust with cake flour, shaking off any excess.
Set up a double boiler with a saucepan filled with simmering water and an insert or aluminum bowl on top.
Add 2 sticks of unsalted butter and 8 oz of bittersweet chocolate to the double boiler and stir until melted, about 2-3 minutes.
Once melted, remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup sugar.
Add 4 whole eggs and 4 egg yolks one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon of cake flour until combined.
Evenly divide the batter among the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, until the sides are set and the center still jiggles.
Let the cakes rest for 2 minutes after baking.
Using a thin knife, run around the edges of the ramekin to loosen the cake.
Invert the ramekin onto a plate and give it a jiggle to unmold the cake.
Dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream, fresh fruit, or vanilla ice cream.
