Ingredients
- 1 cup + 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
- 8 ounces semi sweet chocolate chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 4 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour sifted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF.
- Coat 6-8 custard cups with the 1 tablespoon of butter. Dust the cups with cocoa powder to coat, tapping out any excess cocoa.
- Combine the remaining butter and the chocolate in a small saucepan and set over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth.
- In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, egg yolks and sugar and beat until pale and doubled in volume. (This is easiest to do with an electric mixer - it should take about 3-5 minutes.)
- Fold the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared cups, dividing equally. Bake the cakes for 13-15 minutes, until puffed in the center and set around the sides. If you test it with a toothpick, some batter will show. Let the cakes rest for 5 minutes.
- Run a small, sharp knife around the sides of the molds. Place a plate under the cup, then flip it over, inverting and releasing the cake.
- Serve with whipped cream, ice cream, and/or chocolate syrup.
