Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Raspberries, for garnish
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly spray two 6-ounce ramekins with the cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the egg, egg yolk, granulated sugar and salt on high speed until it becomes light in color and texture, about 2 minutes. Turn the mixer to low speed and beat in the chocolate mixture just until combined. Sift the flour onto the mixture, then fold it in using a rubber spatula.
- Divide the batter between the two prepared ramekins and place them on a baking sheet. Bake the cakes until the edges are slightly puffed and set and the centers are just barely set, about 12 minutes.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let rest for 1 minute. Run a paring knife around each ramekin, then invert each cake onto a plate. Top the cakes with raspberries and dust with confectioners’ sugar. Serve immediately.
