Ingredients:

  • 1/4 lb (1 stick, 125g) butter
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tbsp cocoa
  • 1/8 tsp (1 pinch) salt
  • 4-6 oz (125g) ramekins or creme brulee dishes

Directions:

  1. Melt the chocolate and butter together in a double boiler.
  2. In the meantime, whisk together the rest of the ingredients in a separate bowl.
  3. Prepare four ramekins by covering the insides with a thin film of butter. Then, add enough white sugar to coat the film of butter. Remove any excess sugar by holding the ramekin on the side over a plate and gently tapping the side.
  4. When the chocolate and butter have melted, pour them into the egg mixture and whisk together. The batter will thicken as you whisk it together.
  5. Fill the ramekins to 3/4 full, leaving room for the cake to rise.
  6. Because this dessert is best served straight from the oven, refrigerate until just before you need them.
  7. Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and then put them into the oven on a cookie sheet or tray.
  8. Under bake them so the centre stays soft.
  9. If you're baking them right away, 10-15 minutes should do it.
  10. If refrigerated beforehand, it will take a little longer to cook, about 15-20 minutes.
  11. Check them every 5 minutes or so and more often near the end. You don't want to overdo it, because then the centre isn't soft and runny.
  12. To serve, gently invert the ramekin on to a plate and dust with icing sugar.
  13. Vanilla ice cream or whipped thickened cream goes really well with this rich chocolate dessert.
