Time 37m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 1/2 ounces imported bittersweet chocolate (preferably El Rey or Valrhona), coarsely chopped
11 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut in large pieces
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons white granulated sugar
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour, sifted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Butter and flour six 6-ounce custard cups.
  • Place 5 1/2 ounces of the chocolate and the butter in a metal bowl, and set it over a pan of simmering water. Stir until melted and smooth. Cool slightly.
  • Using a standard electric mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the eggs, yolks and sugar at medium-high speed until they are pale and thick, about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce the speed, and gradually mix in the flour.
  • Add the chocolate mixture to the flour mixture, and continue to beat until thick and glossy, about 5 minutes.
  • Divide half of the mixture among the prepared custard cups. Divide the remaining 2 ounces of coarsely chopped chocolate among them, placing the chunks in the very center of the chocolate mixture (there should be about 1 tablespoon of chopped chocolate per custard cup). Then top with the rest of the chocolate batter.
  • Bake until the cake is set around the edges but the center jiggles slightly when the cup is moved, about 12 minutes. Cool slightly (no more than 5 minutes).
  • Run a sharp knife around the edges of the cups. Turn the cakes out onto plates, and serve.

Not bad, but not great either. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

The cakes were a bit dry, but the chocolate center was perfect. I think I would add more butter to the batter next time.

Not as good as I expected. The cakes were a bit dry and the chocolate center was too runny.
