Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees, with rack in lower third. Do not open oven door until ready to bake. Brush outer lip of a 2-quart souffle dish with melted butter. Tie a sheet of parchment around dish with kitchen twine so it extends 3 inches above rim. Brush inside of dish and collar with melted butter. Dust with sugar (this adds texture, which helps the souffle climb); tap out excess. Chill dish in freezer 15 minutes.
- Stir chocolates in a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water until smooth. Scald the milk (heat it until it's just about to simmer) in a saucepan over medium heat; remove from heat. Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk, beat 6 tablespoons sugar and the yolks on high until pale, about 4 minutes. On low, beat in flour. Beat in half the hot milk, ladling it in a little at time (this is called tempering and prevents the yolks from scrambling).
- Whisk mixture into pan of hot milk; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, whisking. Reduce heat to low; simmer until thick, about 2 minutes. Pour into chocolate. Stir in brandy (if desired), vanilla, and a pinch of salt. (This mixture can be refrigerated, 2 days. Rewarm in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water.)
- Egg whites are best whipped when they're at room temperature (they attain more volume). Using a balloon whisk, beat whites and a pinch of salt in a copper bowl until foamy. (Or beat with an electric mixer in a stainless-steel bowl with cream of tartar.)
- Add 1 tablespoon sugar; beat until whites almost hold stiff peaks. Add remaining tablespoon sugar, and beat until peaks are stiff (meaning they stand straight up when whisk is lifted).
- Spoon one-third of egg whites onto base (incorporating in batches prevents them from deflating). Fold them in: Cut through center of mixture with a large rubber spatula, then gently turn spatula over. Rotate bowl a quarter turn; continue folding whites and turning bowl until mostly combined.
- Fold remaining whites into base, one-third at a time.
- The mixture is ready when the whites are fully incorporated.
- Pour mixture into prepared dish. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; this helps you move souffle in and out of oven. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 375 degrees; bake until set, 20 minutes. Remove collar; serve immediately with creme anglaise if desired

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Cut a square piece of parchment paper that is larger than the springform pan. Set it on the bottom of the springform pan and secure the ring on top; the paper will extend outside of the springform pan, which makes it easier to remove the torte after baking. Grease the sides of the springform pan.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until melted. Allow to cool lightly.
- Beat egg yolks and 1/2 the sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and foamy, about 5 minutes. It is important to beat a lot of air into the egg yolks, so they almost triple in volume.
- Fold lightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg yolk mixture using a spatula.
- Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl until foamy using the electric mixer on medium speed. Gradually add remaining sugar and salt, continuing to beat until stiff peaks form.
- Stir 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate batter to thin it out. Then carefully fold in the remaining egg whites using a spatula. Immediately transfer batter into the prepared springform pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until torte is no longer glossy, 30 to 40 minutes. Be careful not to bake too long, otherwise it will get dry.
- Cool on a wire rack until completely cool. Unmold carefully, since the torte breaks easily.

CHOCOLATE SOUFFLE WITH MELTED CHOCOLATE CENTER
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Use the butter to grease 8 small (3-ounce), heat-resistant souffle molds and then use the 1 tablespoon of sugar to lightly dust the insides. Place the molds on a baking sheet and set aside.
- Melt all the chocolate except the chunks in a double boiler over low heat. Add the warm cream and stir well until completely combined. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the egg yolks and half of the 1/3 cup of sugar. Using a rubber spatula, transfer this mixture to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, use a wire whisk to beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the remaining sugar and whisk vigorously until the egg whites form soft peaks. Using the spatula, gently fold 1/3 of the egg whites into the chocolate. Fold in the next 1/3 and when the mixture is well combined, add the remaining egg whites, folding until well combined.
- Use a tablespoon to fill the souffle molds to the rim. Place a chunk of semisweet chocolate in the center of each and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, until puffy. Serve immediately alone or accompanied by whipped cream or espresso ice cream.

Tips for Making a Perfect Chocolate Soufflé with Melted Chocolate Center:
- Use high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%. This will ensure a rich, intense chocolate flavor.
- Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the batter to emulsify properly and rise evenly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the soufflé tough.
- Preheat the oven well before you start baking. The soufflé needs a hot oven to rise properly.
- Bake the soufflé in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the soufflé is risen and golden brown.
- Serve the soufflé immediately. It will start to fall as soon as it comes out of the oven.
Conclusion:
A chocolate soufflé with a melted chocolate center is a classic dessert that is sure to impress your guests. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can create a soufflé that is light, fluffy, and full of chocolate flavor. Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors of chocolate or fillings to create your own unique soufflé recipe.
