Ingredients
-
11 oz. Semi-Sweet chocolate
11 oz. butter
7 large eggs
3 oz. sugar
4 oz. flour
Directions
Makes: 10 cakes
Preheat oven to 400 F.
Whisk half the eggs with all the sugar for a few minutes, then add the flour. Whisk in the rest of the eggs until the mixture is well blended.
Melt chocolate and butter together over boiling water, stirring occasionally with rubber spatula. (will become thin and runny)
In same bowl, add egg mixture in very small amounts, whisking constantly until batter is thoroughly mixed.
TIP: THIS IS CALLED TEMPERING. IF YOU ADD THE EGG MIXTURE TOO QUICKLY, THE EGG MIGHT START TO COOK AND THE BATTER WILL BECOME LUMPY.
Spray ramekins with nonstick cooking spray and divide batter evenly among the cups.
Bake 15-20 minutes
(In my oven, 15 mins was perfect at 400F)
