Ingredients

butter 50 g

dark chocolate (chopped) 35 g

cocoa powder 10 g

cake flour 45 g

egg 1

granulated sugar 50 g

baking powder 1/4 tsp

Instructions

Step 1

Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces, cut the butter into small cubes, place them in a small bowl, and heat over a double boiler until melted.

Step 2

Add the egg and sugar to the bowl and whisk thoroughly until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

Mix the cake flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder together, sift the mixture into the bowl from step 2, then stir gently until just combined.

Step 4

Pour the melted chocolate mixture from step 1 into the bowl from step 3, and fold slowly until evenly combined.

Step 5

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rest for one hour.

Step 6

After one hour, pour the batter into madeleine molds, filling each about 70-80% full. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 10-12 minutes, until the shell-shaped cakes rise and develop a small "belly button" bump in the center.
