Very pretty & very rich. Nice to serve at a brunch, or any sort of semi-formal occasion. Taken from "The Body in the Bonfire", a Faith Fairchild mystery.

Ingredients
  • 1 stick unsalted butter + small amount to grease ramekins
  • 2 T flour, + small amount to dust ramekins
  • 8 oz bittersweet chocolate, broken into small pieces. (For a sweeter cake, use sweeter chocolate.)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/3 c sugar
  • Confectioner's sugar

Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  2. Butter & lightly flour six 4-oz ovenproof ramekins.
  3. Gently heat the chocolate & 1 stick of butter in the top of a double boiler, stirring often.
  4. Using a whisk or an electric mixer, beat the eggs, yolks, & sugar together until thickened & foamy.
  5. Beat the melted butter & chocolate mixture into the egg & sugar mixture & immediately add the 2 T flour, beating well to avoid air holes.
  6. Pour the batter into the ramekins.
  7. (The dessert may be covered with plastic wrap & refrigerated at this point. Bring it to room temperature before cooking.)
  8. Place the ramekins on a tray & bake in the middle of the oven for 10 minutes.
  9. (The centers of the cakes should be very soft.)
  10. Unmold on dessert plates & sift some confectioner's sugar on top.
  11. Serve immediately.
