Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 6 oz Bittersweet chocolate
- 1 cup Confectioners' sugar
- 2 whole Eggs
- 2 Egg yolks
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 for greasing Cooking spray
- 1 scoop or dollop per serving Optional: Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease four 6-ounce ramekins with cooking spray. Dust the ramekins lightly with flour and tap out any excess.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and bittersweet chocolate together. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth and fully combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.
Add confectioners' sugar to the melted chocolate mixture and whisk until well incorporated.
Whisk in the eggs and egg yolks until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Gently fold in the all-purpose flour using a spatula, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full.
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft and slightly jiggly.
Remove the ramekins from the oven and let them stand for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edges of each cake to loosen it slightly.
Invert each ramekin onto a small dessert plate and carefully remove the cake. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.
