Ingredients:
3 Eggs
100 g Dark chocolate
50 g Plain flour
100 g Sugar
some Fresh mint
100 g Butter
some Cocoa powder

Direction:

  1. Preheat the oven on to 180°C
  2. Brush the insides of the aluminium pudding tins with soft butter, then spoon in some cocoa powder. Turn the tin in a circular motion and tap until the inside surface is fully covered with the cocoa powder. This will prevent anything sticking later.
  3. Place the chocolate and butter in the heat-proof bowl, and place it over a pan of boiling water. Leave it to melt.
  4. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Slowly incorporate sugar. Mix until airy and fluffy.
  5. Sieve the flour into the melted butter-chocolate mixture. Mix until no flour crumbles are seen.
  6. Now add the egg mixture into the chocolate-butter mixture so they are both in the same bowl.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared aluminium dishes. Place into the oven for 6 minutes (it depends on your oven, could be 7 or 8 minutes)
  8. Serve with ice cream. Garnish with a sprig of mint and a sprinkle cocoa powder.
