Ingredients

  • 6 (1-ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
  • 2 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
  • 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 stick) butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons orange liqueur

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Grease 6 (6-ounce) custard cups. Melt the chocolates and butter in the microwave, or in a double boiler. Add the flour and sugar to chocolate mixture. Stir in the eggs and yolks until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and orange liqueur. Divide the batter evenly among the custard cups. Place in the oven and bake for 14 minutes. The edges should be firm but the center will be runny. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto dessert plates.

    If I could give this recipe 10 stars i would!!!!!! Seriously IF you follow the directions to a T there should be no reason why these dont come out excactly like they're suppose to. The only thing I did [following reviews] was put the chocolate filled ramekins in a baking dish filled half way with water. I'm not sure if that was the reason they were so moist but regardless they were PERFECT. I will be making these A LOT! Way to go Paula, you never steer me wrong!


    They did need a few extra minutes cooking time, I think that was due to the water in the baking dish. I checked them after 13 minutes and they needed an additional 7-8 minutes at 425.

    I tried this recipe tonight for the first time and can I just say...Yum Yum Yummy! Athough, I do have something of a tragedy on my hands. After reading the comments and finding out that some reviewers suggested baking in a bain marie (water bath, I went ahead and baked my cakes in a water bath. Well, at 14 mins the edges had already firmed up and I thought it was safe to take them out. Boy was I wrong! I waited for the cakes to cool a bit and upon inverting them discovered that although the top edges were cooked, the bottom and sides weren't so my lava came spilling out. I figure it was because I baked in a water bath so next time I will try this recipe sans water bath. Although they didn't quite look the way I wanted them to, they tasted divine (and I left out the orange liqueur.
