**Chocolate Fondant Cake**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup semisweet chocolate, chopped
– 3/4 cup unsalted butter
– 1/2 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
– 3 large eggs
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
– Fresh berries, for garnish (optional)
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 380°F (190°C). Grease a round cake pan or individual ramekins with butter and dust lightly with flour. Set aside.
2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate and butter together in the microwave or over a double boiler. Stir until smooth and well combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
4. Gradually pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly until fully combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan or ramekins, filling them about 3/4 full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes for individual ramekins or 20-25 minutes for a large cake pan, or until the edges are set but the center is still slightly wobbly.
7. Remove from the oven and let the Chocolate Fondant Cake cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the cake, then carefully invert it onto a plate.
8. Dust the Chocolate Fondant Cake with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries, if desired.
