Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, plus more for greasing
- 5 ounces bittersweet (non-sweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon mescal
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon pomegranate molasses
- 1 1/2 teaspoons canela or Mexican cinnamon
- Large pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chilled whipping cream
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Generously butter four 3/4-cup souffle dishes or custard cups. Arrange on a baking sheet.
Stir the chocolate and butter in heavy small saucepan over low heat until smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in the mescal. Cool 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Using an electric mixer, beat the eggs, yolks, 4 tablespoons sugar, molasses, 1 teaspoon canela powder and salt in medium bowl until very thick ribbons fall when beaters are lifted, about 6 minutes. Sift the flour over the batter; fold in the flour. Fold in the chocolate mixture. Divide the batter among the prepared dishes, filling completely. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover loosely; refrigerate. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.)
Bake the cakes until the tops are puffed and dry and a tester inserted into the center comes out with moist batter still attached, about 15 minutes. Cool the cakes 5 minutes.
Beat the cream, the remaining 1 tablespoon sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon canela powder in small bowl until firm peaks form. Top the cakes with the whipped cream and serve warm.

Made this and wasn't impressed. I followed the recipe exactly, and it was just gummy chocolate cake with no molten inside. I dont know what went wrong cause other reviews say it is a fab recipe.
