Recipe:
1/2 cup of chopped, bittersweet chocolate (6 ounces)
1 pound of butter
1-and-a-half cups icing sugar
1/4 pound of sugar
Three unbroken eggs
Three egg-yolks
Put in a 425 degree Fahrenheit preheated oven.
Prepare six (6-ounce) souffle or custard cups with butter. Arrange on a pan for baking.
Melt the butter by microwaving the chocolate and butter for 1 minute on MEDIUM (50%). Chocolate should be whisked until it is completely melted. Mix in 1-1/2 cups of sugar and flour. Mix in the egg yolks of six eggs.
Egg whites should be beaten in a separate, clean basin until they form stiff peaks. Gently incorporate the beaten egg whites into the chocolate mixture until no white streaks remain, using a rubber spatula. Put the liquid into the cups.
Cakes are done when the edges are hard but the centers are still mushy, usually after 14 to 15 minutes in the oven. Hold for one minute. Loosen cakes from molds by running a small knife around the edge, then carefully unmold onto serving plates. Warm it up and top it with whatever you like.
