Molten Chocolate Cakes

33m8 servings

Ingredients

  • 12 tsp sugar, divided
  • 5 tbsp sugar
  • 8 oz bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 qt purchased vanilla bean ice cream

Instructions

  1. Generously butter eight ¾-cup ramekins. Sprinkle inside of each with 1½ tsp sugar.
  2. Stir chocolate and butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat until smooth.
  3. Using electric mixer, beat eggs, egg yolks, and remaining 5 tbsp sugar in large bowl until thick and pale yellow, about 8 minutes.
  4. Fold 1/3 of warm chocolate mixture into egg mixture, then fold in remaining chocolate. Fold in flour.
  5. Divide batter among ramekins. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover with plastic, chill. Bring to room temp before continuing.)
  6. Preheat oven to 425°F. Place ramekins on baking sheet. Bake uncovered until edges are puffed and slightly cracked but center still moves slightly, about 13 minutes.
  7. Top each cake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and serve immediately.
