Ingredients:
1/2 stick of unsalted butter 3 oz. bittersweet chocolate (see note below for substitutions using other chocolates) 1 large egg 1 egg yolk 1/8 cup sugar pinch of salt 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Butter and flour two 6 oz. ramekins. 2. In the microwave, melt chocolate and butter together in a bowl. 3. In a large bowl, beat together egg, egg yolk, and sugar until thick and pale. (I had no electric beater, so using a fork I was only able to get the eggs to be frothy at best. The dessert still came out perfectly fine, but I imagine if you want a fluffier cake then go for the pale thickness using electric beaters.) 4. Stir in melted chocolate and flour and mix well. Spoon into prepared ramekins, and set on a flat baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 12 minutes. The sides of the cake will rise and look cake-y, while the center remains liquid and batter-like in appearance. Remove from oven and let sit for 1 minute in ramekins.
