Ingredients
- 6.5 oz semisweet baking chocolate
- 10 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/8 tsp salt
- powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and spray 6 ramekins with non-stick spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add 6.5 oz. semi-sweet baking chocolate chopped up, and 10 oz. unsalted butter. Cook for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Add 3 eggs and 1/3 cup sugar to a standing mixer with the whisk attachment and whip for 5 minutes until light yellow and thick.
- Add the melted chocolate and stir to combine.
- Pour in 1/4 cup flour and 1/8 tsp salt, mix until combined.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 6 prepared ramekins.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12 minutes.
- Remove and allow the cakes to cool for 5 minutes before placing a small serving place face down on each ramekin and then flipping the cake over to fall out onto the plate. You can tap the bottom of the ramekin to make sure the cake falls out.
- Carefully remove the ramekin and sift on some powdered sugar. Serve warm. I like to add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
