Ingredients
- 2 oz bittersweet chocolate I use a Ghirardelli bar - found in the baking aisle
- 4 1/2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F with the oven rack set in the lower third of the oven.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl combine the butter and chocolate. Be sure and cut the butter into smaller pieces and break the chocolate into smaller pieces. Microwave on high power for 60 - 90 seconds until the butter is completely melted. Whisk to combine the melted butter and chocolate.
- In a separate smaller bowl combine the eggs and sugar. Whisk until the mixture is looking frothy.
- Slowly stream the egg and sugar mixture into the melted butter and chocolate mixture. Stir with a spatula until completely combined.
- Sift the flour and salt into the bowl with the chocolate batter. Stir until no streaks of flour remain.
- Grease the ramekins and divide the batter evenly between the two. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes, or until the tops of the cakes are puffed up.
- Remove from oven and place the ramekins on plates. Allow to rest for about five minutes and serve warm.
