Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for molds
Cocoa powder, for molds
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
Confectioners' sugar, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • Butter four 4-ounce ramekins and lightly dust the inside of each ramekin with cocoa powder, tilting to coat; tap out any excess and set aside.
  • Heat butter and chocolate in heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water until chocolate is almost completely melted.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk together eggs, egg yolks, and sugar until light and thick.
  • Slowly add butter mixture to mixer; add flour and mix until well combined. Divide batter between prepared ramekins. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake until sides are set and center is soft, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Invert each mold onto a plate and let stand for about 10 seconds. Gently tap the tops of molds and carefully lift to remove. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired; serve immediately.

I've never been a fan of chocolate cake, but these cakes changed my mind. They're so moist and flavorful, and the ganache frosting is out of this world. I will definitely be making these again.
