Steps:
- Brush 6 (6-ounce) ramekins with soft butter, then coat with sugar. Put the prepared ramekins in the freezer. (This can be done a day ahead.)
- Set an oven rack in lower third of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Put the chocolate and butter in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with an inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl over, but not touching, the water. Stir the chocolate occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Set aside.
- Combine the egg yolks and warm water in the bowl of a standing mixer or large bowl and beat until frothy. Gradually add 2 tablespoons sugar, and continue beating until ribbons form, about 5 minutes. Very lightly fold the yolks into the chocolate mixture. (Rinse the bowl well, if using for beating the egg whites.)
- Remove prepared ramekins from freezer. Put the egg whites in the bowl of a standing mixer, or large non-reactive bowl, add the lemon juice. Beat on medium until frothy; then gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and increase speed to high. Beat until the whites hold a stiff but not dry peak.
- Working quickly, fold about a third of the egg whites into the chocolate to lighten; then fold in remaining whites until blended. Gently ladle or spoon the souffle mixture into the ramekins, and place on a baking sheet. (Level off the surface with a straight edge, scraping any excess mixture back into the bowl.)
- Immediately bake until the souffle rises about 1 1/2 inches from the ramekins, and the tops are touched with brown, about 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from oven, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Butter eight 3/4 cup ramekins or custard cups; dust with sugar. Arrange dishes on rimmed baking sheet. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons flour; whisk until mixture is bubbling, about 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk. Cook until mixture thickens and boils, whisking constantly, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add bittersweet chocolate, 4 tablespoons sugar, and unsweetened chocolate; whisk until melted and smooth. Pour souffle base into large bowl. Cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally. Whisk egg yolks into souffle base. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, beating until stiff and glossy. Fold 1/4 of whites into souffle base. Fold in remaining whites in 2 additions. Divide souffle mixture among prepared ramekins. (Can be prepared ahead. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze up to 1 week; do not thaw frozen souffles before baking.) Preheat oven to 400. Bake souffles uncovered on rimmed baking sheet until puffed and centers move slightly when baking sheet is shaken gently, about 17 minutes for fresh or chilled souffles or 22 minutes for frozen. Serve chocolate souffles immediately with sweetened whipped cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Brush bottom and sides of 2 (5-ounce) ramekins lightly with 1 teaspoon melted butter; cover bottom and sides right up to the rim. Add 1 tablespoon white sugar to ramekins. Rotate ramekins until sugar coats all surfaces. Pour off extra sugar.
- Place chocolate pieces in a metal mixing bowl. Place bowl over a pan of about 3 cups hot water over low heat. Do not let water boil or come to a simmer.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle in flour. Whisk until flour is incorporated into butter and mixture thickens, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low. Whisk in cold milk until mixture becomes smooth and thickens, 2 or 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat. Transfer mixture to bowl with melted chocolate. Add salt and very small pinch of cayenne pepper. Mix together thoroughly. Add egg yolk and mix to combine. Leave bowl above the hot (not simmering) water to keep chocolate warm while you whip the egg whites.
- Place 2 egg whites in a mixing bowl; add cream of tartar. Whisk until mixture begins to thicken and a drizzle from the whisk stays on the surface about 1 second before disappearing into the mix, 2 or 3 minutes. Add 1/3 of sugar and whisk in. Whisk in a bit more sugar about 15 seconds; whisk in the rest of the sugar. Continue whisking until mixture is about as thick as shaving cream and holds soft peaks, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Transfer a little less than half of egg whites to chocolate. Mix until egg whites are thoroughly incorporated into the chocolate, 1 or 2 minutes. Add the rest of the egg whites; gently fold into the chocolate with a spatula, lifting from the bottom and folding over. Stop mixing after the egg white disappears. Divide mixture between 2 prepared ramekins. Place ramekins on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in preheated oven until scuffles are puffed and have risen above the top of the rims, 12 to 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show in a chocolate souffle, so it's important to use the best quality chocolate you can find. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the souffle tough. Beat them until they are stiff but not dry.
- Bake the souffle immediately. The souffle will start to fall as soon as it comes out of the oven, so it's important to bake it immediately.
- Serve the souffle immediately. The souffle is best served warm, right out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Chocolate souffle is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for a special occasion. With a little care and attention, you can easily make a chocolate souffle that will wow your guests.
