Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup (4 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 stick (½ cup / 113 g) unsalted butter
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Prepare ramekins or small bowls (should hold about 4 ounces of cake batter) with baking spray or pan release.
- Place chocolate and butter into a microwave safe dish and heat for 30 seconds. Remove and stir well, then heat for 10 seconds more. Stir until no lumps remain. Set aside.
- Beat egg yolks, eggs, and sugar in a stand mixer with a whisk attachment on high speed (can also use a hand held mixer) until eggs triple in size, about 2 minutes.
- With mixer on medium-low speed, slowly pour the chocolate mixture into egg mixture. Mix until light and thick, about 1 minute.
- Remove bowl from stand mixer and fold in flour by hand.
- Divide batter between four ramekins. Place ramekins on a cookie sheet.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes or until the center does not jiggle. Immediately invert each ramekin on a plate and let sit for at least 10 seconds. Gently remove the ramekin by carefully lifting it up and letting the cake fall onto the plate.
- Serve immediately
