Ingredients
- 1 stick plus 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, with 60 percent cocoa solids
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup superfine sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Special equipment: 4 (2/3 to 1-cup capacity) ramekins
Directions
Place a baking sheet in the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
Butter the ramekins with 1 tablespoon butter.
Either in a microwave or in a bowl suspended over a pan over simmering water, melt the dark chocolate and 1 stick butter, then set aside to cool a little.
In another bowl, mix the eggs with the sugar and flour with a hand whisk and beat in the cooled butter and chocolate mixture. Divide the mixture between the 4 buttered ramekins. Bake for about 20 minutes, by which time the tops will be cooked and cracked and the chocolate gooey underneath.
Place each ramekin on a small plate with a teaspoon and serve. Make sure to warn people that these desserts will be HOT!

Thank you Nigella. This is so delicious. It tastes very similar to the little cakes at Olive Garden.

What a quick way to make an AMAZING dessert! I made this back in January for a little wine and appetizer party for my girlfriends, and they all loved it. I didn't have superfine sugar on hand, so I did use regular granulated sugar; it turned out fine. I did serve it w/ fresh raspberries and some raspberry sauce I made...couldn't have been tastier.
