Steps:
- Break the chocolate and butter into small pieces, melt them on the microwave under"defrost" for about two minutes, Don't let it stand too long on the microwave to avoid burning the chocolate.
- With a spoon mix the melted chocolate and butter until smooth.
- Reserve.
- On a separate bowl, mix the eggs, egg's yolks and sugar.
- Beat the mixture on a mixer until almost doubled its size and has a firm consistency.
- Get the melted chocolate and butter mixture and start pouring it in small bits into the bowl with the beaten eggs and keeping beating it gentle and slowly, until it forms one smooth uniform mixture.
- While you still beating the mixture (in a low speed), sprinkles the flour on it and stop the beating after the flour gets incorporated in the mixture.
- turn off the mixer and stir in the cointreau.
- Reserve.
- Get the muffin baking sheet with 6/8 holes, rub a little bit of butter and sprinkle flour on the sides of each hole, It will help to get the mini cake out of the mold later(use induvidual muffins sheets, it gives a little bit of more work to do but it is much easier to take the muffin out of the mold).
- Pour the mixture into the mold almost to the top(leave 1cm or so, just for precaution of spelling the dough.
- Pre-heat the oven for about 15 minutes.(low temperature, around 180C.
- On the low heat(180c) put the muffin sheet for about 5 minutes, 7 on the most.(Keep trying to find out the perfect timing that works for you)
- After taking the baking sheet out of the oven let it rest of 2 to 3 minutes and then turn it upside down on a plate (The mini cakes should be hard on the outside enough to hold its original shape and all creamy and melted inside)Get each little cake with caution for not breaking them and put on individual plates.
- Put a ball of vanilla ice-cream on the side, Serve while it is hot!
- P.S.when you spoon the mini cake it will open and a rich creamy filling will pour out.

Steps:
- Derreta o chocolate em uma panela em banho-maria e junte a manteiga, mexendo até que fique homogêneo e brilhante / melt the chocolate in bain marie, add the butter and stir until you get a silky mix Em uma vasilha, bata os ovos, as gemas e o açúcar até que os ingredientes fiquem bem incorporados / in a separate bowl stir the eggs (whites & yolks) and the sugar until you get a thick mix Retire o chocolate do fogo e despeje aos poucos na vasilha dos ovos misturados. Mexa até que os ingredientes estejam integrados / remove the chocolate from the heat and pour it onto the egg mix and stir. Misture suavemente a farinha de trigo / slowly mix the flour Unte forminhas pequenas, próprias para petit gâteau, com manteiga / grease up some muffin Pans Coloque a massa nas forminhas e deixe na geladeiras por 2 horas / pour the mixture and into the muffin pans and let it sit in the fridge for at least 2 hours Preaqueça o forno ao máximo / pre-heat the oven at maximum temperature Asse em forno pré-aquecido a 250ºC por 4 a 5 minutos aproximadamente / bake for 4-5 minutes
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of 60-70% is ideal.
- Make sure the butter and chocolate are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to blend together smoothly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough.
- Bake the cakes in a preheated oven. This will help them to rise evenly.
- Don't overcook the cakes. The centers should be just set, but still a little gooey.
- Let the cakes cool completely before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
