Ingredients

  • 8 ounces plus 6 tablespoons butter
  • 10 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  • 6 yolks
  • 6 eggs
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup flour

Directions

Melt the chocolate and butter together. Cool slightly. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the yolks and eggs then mix in the powdered sugar. Whisk this into the chocolate mixture then whisk in the flour. Fill 12 greased 4-ounce foil tins with the batter and refrigerate until ready to bake, or bake immediately. Bake in a preheated 450 degree F oven for 5 to 6 minutes from cold, or 4 to 5 minutes from room temperature. Turn out of tins immediately onto the plate.

Optional Garnitures:

White Chocolate Ganache:

Heat the cream in a saucepan until boiling. Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Whisking well, pour the hot cream over the chocolate to melt it. Cover and chill overnight. The next day, whip it up like whipped cream until soft peaks. Place a dollop of it on the cake before serving.

Satin Chocolate-Mint Sauce:

In the top half of a double boiler, combine the 2 chocolates over simmering water. Stir constantly until melted, then whisk in the syrup, water, and mint extract without removing the double boiler from the heat. Whisk until smooth and shiny. (The sauce can be made up to 48 hours in advance and refrigerated. To rewarm, stir over low heat or heat in a microwave.) Drizzle this over the cake and plate just before serving.

    I read a review about a longer cooking time than what is said in the recipe. I'm guessing the 6 min cooking time is for a conventional oven. Using a typical oven at home, you would need more time to bake :

    Delicious and easy, but the cooking time listed is way off. Coming from the fridge into a preheated 450 oven it took 15 minutes, not 6.

    I used Ghiradelli chocolate but I just didn't like the taste. This recipe wasn't as good as some others I have tried.
