Prep Time: 15 min
Inactive Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Level: Super Easy
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, plus more to butter the molds
6 ounces dark chocolate
3 eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup sugar, plus more for the molds
2 tablespoons flour
Ice Cream if you wish - I serve with scoop of Blue Bell Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and chocolate together until the chocolate mixture is smooth. Set aside. Meanwhile, beat together the eggs and sugar with a whisk or electric beater until pale and thick, about 5 minutes. Pour the melted chocolate in the egg mixture and mix well. Blend in the flour, just until combined. Butter and lightly sugar 4 (4-ounce) molds, custard cups or ramekins. Tap out the excess sugar. Divide the batter among the molds. At this point you can refrigerate the desserts until you are ready to eat, for up to several hours, then bring them back to room temperature before baking. Bake the molten chocolate on a sheet tray for 8 to 10 minutes, the center will still be quite soft, but the sides will be set. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving with your favorite ice cream. Cook's Note: Instead of coating the molds with sugar, you can use crushed pistachios or other nuts.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to add a bit more salt to the cake batter. I found that it was a bit too sweet for my taste.
