Preheat the oven to 190C\/fan 170C\/gas mark 5. Lightly butter four 300ml capacity ramekin dishes (see Tip) and sprinkle with a little of the caster sugar.<br \/>\n2. Place the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water and leave until melted. Remove from the heat and stir until smooth. Cool for 5 minutes.<br \/>\n3. In a large bowl whisk the eggs and remaining caster sugar together for 5 minutes until very thick, pale and creamy, then whisk in the chocolate mixture. Sift over the flour and gently fold in using a metal spoon.<br \/>\n4. Divide the mixture between the four dishes. Place on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the puddings have risen and are just set on the outside \u2013 the tops should still wobble when pressed lightly. Run a knife around the edge of the puddings and turn out onto plates. Dust with cocoa powder and icing sugar and serve immediately with whipped cream and strawberries.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #bf0462;\">TIP<\/span><br \/>\nIf you don\u2019t have ovenproof ramekin dishes, you can use small metal pudding basins or ovenproof teacups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Don\u2019t overcook these divine chocolate puds or the centres will set and you\u2019ll lose the gooey molten middle.
