Cooking time: 12 min
Servings: 8
Ingredients:
Cake
225 g (8 oz) semi-sweet chocolate
180 ml (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, cut into cubes
5 eggs at room temperature
180 ml (3/4 cup) sugar
180 ml (3/4 cup) unbleached all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
Caramelized bananas
4 baby bananas, halved lengthwise
45 ml (3 tablespoons) sugar
Preparation:
1. With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Generously butter 8 ramekins and dust the insides with sugar. Set aside.
Cake
1. In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter. Set aside to cool.
2. Meanwhile, in a bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until the mixture turns pale, doubles in volume and falls from the beaters in ribbons, about 6 minutes. On low speed, blend in the melted chocolate mixture. Add the flour and mix for about 1 minute.
3. Divide the batter among the ramekins and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes. Immediately invert each ramekin onto a plate and unmould. The centre should be slightly runny.
Caramelized Bananas
1. Place the bananas cut side up on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar. With a crème brûlée torch or under a preheated broiler, quickly caramelize the sugar. Place a banana half on each cake. Serve immediately.
