45g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
50g No.1 Fairtrade Italian Orange Dark Chocolate, chopped
2 free range eggs, 1 whole, 1 yolk
35g golden caster sugar
½ tsp Cooks' Ingredients Madagascan Vanilla Extract
2 tsp plain flour
Orange zest, to serve (optional)
Salted caramel ice cream, to serve (optional)

Preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Grease a roughly 350-400ml deep baking dish with a little butter. Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (don’t let the bowl touch the water) until melted. Set aside to cool for a few minutes. Meanwhile, put the egg, egg yolk, sugar and vanilla in a mixing bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, whisk for 3-6 minutes until doubled in volume and the mixture leaves a trail when you lift out the beaters.
Pour the chocolate mixture around the edges of the egg mixture, then sift over the flour and a pinch of salt. Using a large metal spoon or spatula, carefully fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, keeping as much of the air intact as possible. Sit the prepared baking dish on a baking tray and pour in the mixture. Bake for 7-10 minutes until just set but still wobbly in the centre. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then scatter over the orange zest, if using, and serve with scoops of ice cream, if liked.

Cook’s tip

Baker's tip
It’s important to take your time when whisking the eggs and sugar. The process incorporates air into the mixture, providing structure so it can rise on the outside while the centre remains molten.
