Flourless Molten Lava Chocolate Cake by PercyN

Serves 2 as Dessert.

There are many versions of this recipe floating around and I found this one to be easy and time tested.

• 1/3 lb semi sweet or bitter sweet chocolate
  
• 2 tsp Butter
  
• 3 Egg Yolks
  
• 1/4 c Light or Heavy Cream
  

Melt 1/3 lb semi-sweet chocolate (place chips in a microwave for 1 min)

Make a ganache by adding some heavy cream and heating to incorporate until chocolate is shinny.

Whip 3 egg yolks with 2 tbsp sugar until sugar dissolves. Add eggs to warm (but not too hot) chocolate ganache and incorporate.

Butter the edges of 2 ramekins (you can optionally dust the edges with flour but shake out any excess that does not stick to the buttered edges) and fill with the mixture.

Bake in 350F oven for 11-14 minutes (9 min in my convection oven). Edges should start to form, but center should still be soft. Remove from ramekin carefully by running a paring knife along the edge and serve (you can use a touch of flour to dust the ramekins if you want to cheat).
