Author: Shawn

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 Tbs cocoa powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate coarsely chopped
  • 1 stick 8 Tbs unsalted butter, cut into 8 pieces
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 large egg yolk room temperature
  • 6 Tbs sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Butter and flour 6 cups of a muffin tin.
  • Sift together salt, flour, and cocoa.
  • Melt the chocolate and butter together. We used our microwave at 30% power and checked often.
  • Whisk the eggs. Whisk until blended. Add the sugar, and whisk until that is thoroughly blended in, about 2 minutes.
  • Use the whisk and gently stir in the cocoa/flour/salt mixture.
  • Still using the whisk, stir in the chocolate/butter mixture.
  • Divide the batter among the cups.
  • Bake 13 minutes then cool 3 minutes. Once the 3 minutes are up, turn the cakes out on a piece of parchment paper, and, with a wide spatula, transfer to plates or bowls.
