Prepare 1 day ahead
and bake 10 minutes before serving
Makes 6
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cups unsalted butter
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
1/3 cup heavy cream whipped to soft peaks
6
maraschino cherries
with stems for garnish
6 fresh mint sprigs for
garnish
In a small saucepan over medium low heat melt chocolate and butter stirring until
smooth; remove from heat and cool.
In small mixing bowl combine 3 eggs, 3 egg yolks, sugar and salt beating on high speed for
5 minutes or until starting to thicken; stir in cooled chocolate mixture. Sift flour over batter and fold in to blend.
Spoon cake batter into six 1/2-cup buttered custard cups; place on a baking sheet and bake at 400° for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove
from the oven, let rest 5 minutes. Loosen edges with a sharp knife and invert onto individual dessert
plates. Top with whipped cream or ice cream;
garnish
with maraschino cherries, mint sprigs and
serve immediately.
Note: It is normal for
cake centers to collapse because they are soft from being under baked; the chocolate oozes out
like molten lava when cut into.
