Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Raspberries, for garnish
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly spray two 6-ounce ramekins with the cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess.
  • Melt the butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
  • Using a hand mixer, beat the egg, egg yolk, granulated sugar and salt on high speed until it becomes light in color and texture, about 2 minutes. Turn the mixer to low speed and beat in the chocolate mixture just until combined. Sift the flour onto the mixture, then fold it in using a rubber spatula.
  • Divide the batter between the two prepared ramekins and place them on a baking sheet. Bake the cakes until the edges are slightly puffed and set and the centers are just barely set, about 12 minutes.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and let rest for 1 minute. Run a paring knife around each ramekin, then invert each cake onto a plate. Top the cakes with raspberries and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.

Time 33m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
1/2 pound bittersweet chocolate, at least 60 percent, plus 8 (1-inch) squares
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 4 (6-ounce) ramekins and set aside.
  • Over a double boiler, melt the butter and chocolate, whisking until smooth. Whisk in the sugar and transfer to a medium bowl. Whisk in the eggs and flour until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins about 2/3 full. Place 1 of the small chocolate squares right in the middle of each cake and press down with your fingers so it rests in the middle of the ramekin. Bake the cakes until slightly puffy and set around the edges, 20 to 25 minutes. Don't worry if your cake tester comes out wet, the center should still be loose.
  • BYOC: Use a nice sea salt to garnish, or try toasted coconut flakes, toasted and chopped nuts, fresh berries in the summer or freshly whipped cream.
