MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKES 5 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet
chocolate, chopped. (I use a 1/2 bag
of chocolate chips). 10 tbs. (1 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter 3 large eggs 3 large egg yolks 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 1/2 cup all purpose flour Vanilla ice cream Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Butter six 3/4 cup soufflé dishes or custard cups.
Stir chocolate and butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until
melted. Cool slightly.
Whisk eggs and egg yolks in large bowl to blend.
Whisk in sugar, then chocolate mixture and flour.
Pour batter into dishes, dividing equally. (Can be made 1 day ahead.
Cover; chill) Bake cakes until sides are set but center remains soft and runny, about 11 minutes or up to 14 minutes for batter that was refrigerated. Run small knife around cakes to loosen. Wait 1 minute and turn cakes out onto plates. Serve with ice cream.
