Ingredients
- 2 sticks + 6 tablespoons butter or vegan butter
- 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 6 egg yolks
- 6 eggs
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose or spelt flour
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Melt the butter and chocolate together in a double boiler or in a glass bowl set on top of a pot of boiling water.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the yolks and eggs and then stir in the powdered sugar.
- Stir the egg mixture into the chocolate mixture and then stir in the flour.
- Grease a muffin pan (don’t ever use paper liners) and fill muffin cups almost to the top.
- Bake for 5-8 minutes. Watch closely: the whole cake will puff up and they’re done a few seconds after you see the very center puff up.
- Remove from the oven.
- Place a baking sheet on top of your muffin pan and flip, holding both pans together.
- Gently lift up the muffin pan and shake it a little so the cakes release before the “lava” center breaks through the top (now bottom) of the cake.
- If that happens, it’s still ok, just try to shove the chocolate goo back up in the cake and place gracefully on a plate.
- Scoop ice cream on top and serve.
