4. 4Pour the batter into the ramekin and gently tap it on the kitchen benchtop to flatten the top
5. 5Break the dark chocolate square into 4 pieces and place them into the centre of the ramekin. With your fingers, press them down slightly into the mixture so they are submerged

7. 7Remove and check if it's cooked all the way through by sticking a toothpick into the centre. It should come out mostly clean
