  • 200 g unsalted butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 120 g caster sugar
  • 60 g plain flour
  • Cocoa powder to dust
  • Sea salt flakes

Method

1
Melt chocolate and butter together over a bain-marie. Cool slightly.
2
Whisk eggs, yolks and sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
3
Fold chocolate mixture into eggs, then sift in flour and fold gently.

Pour into a greased 20 cm tin and bake at 180 C for 18-20 minutes. The center should still have a slight wobble. Cool 10 minutes before turning out and dusting with cocoa.
