Time 50m

Yield 4 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 eggs
5 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate
3 ounces semisweet chocolate
3 sticks (1 1/2 cups) butter, plus extra for greasing the ramekins
3/4 teaspoon espresso powder
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 teaspoon salt
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Raspberries, for garnish, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease four 10-ounce ramekins with butter and arrange on a baking sheet.
  • In a stand mixer, whip together the eggs, yolks and sugar until the mixture is light in color, doubled in volume and falls in ribbons. Set aside.
  • In a double boiler set over medium heat, melt the bittersweet chocolate, semisweet chocolate, butter and espresso powder. Stir until smooth. Fold the melted chocolate into the eggs.
  • Sift together the flour and salt. Sprinkle the dry mixture over the chocolate-egg mixture and gently fold in.
  • Divide the batter between the greased ramekins. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges are firm but there is a slight wiggle in the center.
  • Run a knife around the edge of the ramekins and invert the cakes onto plates. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Garnish with raspberries if using. Serve warm.
