Instruction

  • In a small measuring cup or a ramekin, mix melted butter. Coat two 8oz. ramekins with the mixture.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, place chocolate and top with butter. Microwave in 10 second intervals, until the butter is melted and covers the chocolate.
  • Let sit. Do not stir.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg, yolk, sugar and salt until pale and thick, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Whisk the chocolate until smooth.
  • Quickly add chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, add flour and fold everything together with a rubber spatula.
  • Divide equally among the ramekins.
  • Place ramekin onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake cakes for 12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and let stand 1 minute.
  • Cover each ramekins with a plate you will be serving it on. Let stand 1 minute.
  • Flip the plate and keeping the ramekin upside down on the plate, let stand 1 minutes. Tap gently and pull the ramekin out.
  • Serve immediately garnished with whipped cream or dusted with powdered sugar.
