130 g butter, soft
30 g sugar
fresh eggs
fresh egg yolks
20 g Maizena cornflour
chocolate cube (e.g. Fine Food Pavés à l'Orange)
Mango

How it's done

Cake mixture

Place the chocolate in a thin-sided bowl and suspend over a gently simmering bain-marie; the bowl must not touch the water. Melt the chocolate and stir until smooth. In a bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar and eggs, continue to whisk until the mixture becomes lighter in colour. Stir the chocolate into the mixture. Sieve in the cornflour, mix. Transfer the cake mixture to the prepared ramekins, chill for approx. 15 mins. Press a praline into each cake until it is no longer visible.

To bake

Approx. 20 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 210°C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, remove from the ramekins and serve immediately.

Mango

Mix the mango, lemon zest, lemon juice and chilli, serve with the cakes.
