seriously, these cakes are better than breathing(and breathing is good). i said i would marry the guy that could make these for me and what I meant is I would eat these cakes if somone made them for me. haha. If you want to impress your girlfriend or guyfriend or wife or husband on a special occasion these are PERFECT thing to make.
Anyway, here's the not so secret recipe
Butter and sugar for ramekins
1/2 lb. bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped (use a high qualilty chocolate)
1/2 lb. unsalted butter
6 whole eggs
1 1/2 C. sugar
1/2 C. flour
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Butter t 15 4-ounce ramekins and sprinkle with sugar, tapping to remove excess sugar. Set aside. In the top of a double boiler or heavy bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter. Whisk until thoroughly melted and combined. Meanwhile, in a large bowl whisk together eggs, sugar and flour until just blended. Gradually whisk the chocolate mix into the egg mix until combined. Evenly divide the mixture between the prepared ramekins, using about 1/3 cup for each ramekin. Place ramekins on baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until tops are firm and beginning to crack and the edges are set. Remove from oven and serve immediately with your favorite ice cream. (or add some whipped cream and strawberries). Makes 15 cakes.
note: The exterior of these should be cake-like while the center should remain soft and runny and warm.
Now eat as many as you can :) and give your husband one.
