Choco-apple fondant cake

Preparation

1. Cream the butter and sugar in a bowl.
2. Stir in eggs and cocoa powder

5. Butter 6 to 8 ramekins about 6 cm (3") in diameter - quantity may vary according to ramekin size.
6. Mix the 15 ml sugar with the 15 ml cocoa powder and sprinkle a little of the mixture into the ramekins (this will prevent the cakes from sticking and help form a nice crispy crust on the outside).

8. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.
9. Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F for about 8 minutes.
10. Allow to rest for about 2 minutes before the moment of truth.
