How to Make Petit Gateau

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease and flour four 6-ounce ramekins.
  2. In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over simmering water, melt butter and chocolate until smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Whisk in sugar until combined. Let cool slightly.
  4. Whisk in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually whisk in flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Divide batter evenly among prepared ramekins.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes before carefully inverting onto plates.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve immediately with whipped cream or chocolate ganache.
