Ingredients 

  • 4 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate I have also used 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips with success. The baking chocolate is better though.
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 6 Tablespoons flour

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Spray 4 small (6-8 oz) ramekin dishes with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet. Set aside.
  • In a small microwave safe bowl, combine butter and chocolate and melt in 30 second increments, string between each increment until chocolate and butter are combined and smooth.
  • Add powdered sugar and stir in evenly.
  • Add eggs and egg yolks and beat in until well combined.
  • Stir in flour until well combined.
  • Pour and distribute batter evenly in the 4 prepared ramekin dishes.
  • Bake at 425 degrees F for 12-13 minutes until edges are firm and center is soft, but not super jiggly.
  • Let cool for 2 minutes. Using a knife, gently pull cake away from the edges then invert onto plate or serving dish.
  • Serve with dusted powdered sugar, ice cream, magic shell or however desired. No matter how you want to eat it, serve immediately.
