6 ounces unsalted butter cut into six pieces
4 ounces semisweet chocolate

Add eggs and whisk just until smooth. Refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with greased parchment paper. Line rings or molds with greased with parchment.

Bake on top rack of oven 20 minutes, or until sides are set but center is still undercooked. Remove from oven. Holding each mold with tongs or potholders, slip a metal spatula underneath and transfer to plate. Slip a butter knife between the parchment and the mold to loosen cake; slip off mold and peel off parchment. Serve immediately. Makes 4 3-inch cakes.
