Description
Baking has always been one of my greatest joys. I have such happy memories of my sister and I when we were little, standing on kitchen chairs so that we could help Mum make biscuits or buns

Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4. Butter four 8cm ramekins and place on a baking tray. Break or chop the chocolate and melt with the butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.
Whisk the eggs and egg yolks with the sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and fold in to mix. Sift in the flour and cocoa powder and fold in gently with a metal spoon or spatula until just mixed.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared ramekins and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until risen and just firm to the touch. The outer part should be cooked and the inner part liquid.
Carefully run a knife around the inside of each mould to loosen the puddings, then carefully turn them out onto individual warmed serving plates. Dust with cocoa powder and serve immediately with vanilla ice-cream.
