Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2/3 cup butter, plus more for greasing
4 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
4 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons cream
Squirt lemon juice, to taste

Steps:

  • For the cakes:
  • Butter 6 ramekins and line with a disk of parchment paper, and then butter the parchment. In a double boiler, bowl or saucepan, very gently melt the butter and chocolate together over a water bath. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick, pale, and ribbony. Beat in the flour, and finally the chocolate mixture. Pour the mixture into the ramekins and chill.
  • Just before serving, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the ramekins on a baking sheet, and bake until the top is set, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove. Let sit 5 minutes, before unmolding onto plates. Serve with caramel sauce, if using, or a scoop of ice cream.
  • For the caramel sauce:
  • Add a spoonful of water to the sugar in a saucepan over medium-high heat and boil to caramel, about 5 minutes. Do not stir with a spoon. Swirl the saucepan over the heat until desired color is achieved. Cook's Note: Be careful not to let it get too dark. Stir in the butter to melt (careful it will splatter), then the cream. Add a squirt of lemon juice, to taste.
