Ingredients

40 g (1 1/2oz) butter, plus extra for greasing
50 g (2oz) dark chocolate, chopped
1 tsp. cocoa powder, plus extra to decorate
1 tsp. flour
2 med eggs, separated
25 g (1oz) caster sugar
6 raspberries, plus extra to serve
dried raspberries, to decorate (optional)

Directions

1. Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Grease two 175ml (6fl oz) pudding moulds well.
2. Step 2
  Melt the butter and chocolate together in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water. Cool slightly for 10min. Stir in cocoa, flour and egg yolks, being careful not to overmix.
3. Step 3
  In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until medium peaks form, then whisk in the sugar. Mix a third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to loosen it, then fold in the remaining egg whites.
4. Step 4
  Half fill the pudding moulds with chocolate mixture, then put 3 raspberries into the centre of each. Top with remaining mixture. Bake in the oven for 9-10min until just set and risen. Invert on to a plate, dust with a little cocoa and a scatter of dried raspberries, if you like.
