Cooking the sweets: Butter and flour the ramekins. Fill the bottom with the fluffy mixture. Place a raspberry ganache tablet in the center of the chocolate mixture. Cover the device with fluffy. Preheat the oven and bake the cakes for 10 minutes at 210°C. Sprinkle the fluffy cake with icing sugar when it comes out of the oven.

Training: In a large plate, place a good spoonful of Pineau des Charentes cream in the center and spread it evenly, making a circle 15 cm in diameter. Place the fluffy top.
