Time 4h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
5 tablespoons butter, room temperature
2 eggs, room temperature
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Butter six ramekins or custard cups. Melt chocolate and butter slowly: You can do this in a double boiler, over, not in, simmering water, or in microwave, stirring to prevent scorching. Stir until completely smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer until frothy, about 5 to 6 minutes. Stir vanilla and salt gently into beaten eggs. Fold half of egg mixture into chocolate mixture, mix well. Then fold remainder of egg mixture into chocolate mixture. Pour chocolate and egg mixture into prepared ramekins.
  • Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel. Place ramekins on towel, inside roasting pan. Butter a piece of foil big enough to cover entire pan, and cover the ramekins, buttered side down. Place roasting pan on oven rack. Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake 5 minutes, then remove foil and bake 10 minutes more. Remove ramekins from water carefully. Let cool on wire rack for at least 3 hours. Cakes will firm up as they cool. Unmold each room-temperature ramekin onto a dessert plate, garnish and serve. Refrigerate unused portions.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar by half.

I've tried this recipe twice now and both times the cake has turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

This recipe was easy to follow and the cake turned out great! It was moist and chocolatey, and the frosting was the perfect complement.

I made this recipe last night and it was delicious! The chocolate flavor was rich and intense, and the cake was moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
