Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons plus 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
Granulated sugar, for coating the ramekins
3 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, plus a little more for dusting
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 large eggs, plus 3 yolks
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy whipping cream, cold

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Paint the insides of 6 ramekins with the melted butter, then coat with granulated sugar.
  • Put the remaining stick of butter and the chocolate chips in a large mixing bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan filled with about 1 inch of boiling water (make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water). Gently stir the butter and chocolate together until melted and smooth. Turn off the heat.
  • Combine the confectioners' sugar, vanilla, eggs and yolks in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip until doubled in size and very thick and pale. Gently whisk in the chocolate-butter mixture. Gently stir in the flour. Pour the batter into the prepared ramekins. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 14 to 15 minutes. Let rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Whip the cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until it holds soft peaks.
  • Remove the cakes from the ramekins and place them on individual serving plates. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve warm with whipped cream.
