I doctored up a recipe I found in the newspaper years ago. When you see the gooey chocolate dripping out, you know you're in for an awesome dessert. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped |
2 eggs |
2 egg yolks |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°. In a small heavy saucepan, heat butter and chocolate over low heat until blended, stirring constantly; transfer to a large bowl.
2. Add eggs, egg yolks, sugar, extract and salt to chocolate mixture; mix well. Stir in flour. Pour into four greased 6-oz. custard cups or ramekins.
3. Place custard cups on a baking sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160° and edges of cake are set.
4. Remove from oven; let stand 1 minute. Run a knife around sides of cakes; remove to dessert plates. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately. Yield: 4 servings.
