Home Cooking Recipes
Required Ingredients:
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 5 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Preparing/Cooking:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
- Butter six ramekins or custard cups.
- Melt chocolate and butter slowly: You can do this in a double boiler, over, not in, simmering water, or in microwave, stirring to prevent scorching.
- Stir until completely smooth.
- In a medium bowl, beat eggs with electric mixer until frothy, about 5 to 6 minutes.
- Stir vanilla and salt gently into beaten eggs.
- Fold half of egg mixture into chocolate mixture, mix well.
- Then fold remainder of egg mixture into chocolate mixture.
- Pour chocolate and egg mixture into prepared ramekins.
- Line a roasting pan with a damp kitchen towel.
- Place ramekins on towel, inside roasting pan.
- Butter a piece of foil big enough to cover entire pan, and cover the ramekins, buttered side down.
- Place roasting pan on oven rack.
- Fill roasting pan with boiling water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
- Bake 5 minutes, then remove foil and bake 10 minutes more.
- Remove ramekins from water carefully.
- Let cool on wire rack for at least 3 hours.
- Cakes will firm up as they cool.
- Unmold each room-temperature ramekin onto a dessert plate, garnish and serve.
- Refrigerate unused portions.
