Ingredients
- 4 ounces chocolate semi-sweet, dark chocolate or bittersweet work best
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- pinch kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon espresso powder optional
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F. Butter 6 ramekins or spray with non-stick cooking spray. Place on to a baking sheet, then set aside.
- Microwave chocolate and butter in medium microwaveable bowl on HIGH for 1 minute, or until butter is melted. Vigorously stir until chocolate is completely melted. If needed, microwave an additional 15 seconds,until the chocolate is melted. Cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and egg yolks until fully combined. Beat in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Beat in butter and chocolate mixture until well blended.
- Stir in flour, salt and espresso powder, by hand, until just combined.
- Divide batter equally between ramekins (about 1/2 cup if using 6 oz. ramekins) and place them, evenly apart, on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until the edges of the cakes are firm but centers are still soft. Let stand for 1 min.
- Carefully run knife around cakes to loosen; invert into dessert plates. Serve warm topped with ice cream, whipped cream, fruit or powdered sugar.
Notes
- Unbaked batter can be stored for up to 24 hours, in a covered container, in the refrigerator. Baking time may have to be slightly increased in order to account for the chilled batter.
- Baked cakes can be stored in an airtight container, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
