Ingredients
- 4 oz semi sweet dark chocolate roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup butter cut into cubes
- 2 Eggs room temperature
- 2 Egg yolks room temperature
- 1/4 Cup sugar
- 2 Tablespoons all purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place the rack in the middle of the oven. Have ready a large baking tray. Grease and lightly flour 4 ramekin dishes.
- In a double boiler, or a glass bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, add the chopped chocolate and butter. Stir until it melts, 3 - 5 minutes, and remove from heat.
- In a large bowl, whisk on high speed the eggs and egg yolks. Gradually add the sugar and whisk on high speed until it's light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the melted chocolate and mix on stir speed until just combined, about a minute.
- Gently stir in the flour.
- Evenly pour into prepared baking dishes. Place all the ramekins on the baking tray and bake for about 7 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Use a small pliable spatula to gently loosen the cakes from the side of the ramekin. Place a plate on top of each ramekin dish and gently flip it over. Remove ramekin.
- Suggested serving with whipped cream and fresh strawberries. For best results, serve hot.
