Molten Chocolate Cake Recipe

Recipe from Jean-Georges with instructional video here.

Ingredients (makes 4):

1/2 cup unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the molds
1/2 cup (4 ounces) bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
4 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons flour, plus more for dusting the molds

Instructions

Melt butter in microwave.  Add chocolate and stir until melted.  Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, and add 2 more yolks (discard extra whites).  Add sugar and beat until light and thick, about 1 min.  Add egg mixture and 2 tsp flour to melted chocolate; beat until combined.  Butter and lightly flour 4 4-oz molds or ramekins.  Tap out excess flour.  Divide batter among molds.  Can refrigerate mixture up to 3 hours; just bring back to room temperature before baking.  When ready to bake, preheat oven to 450F.  Bake for 6-8min (better to undercook than overcook).  Let sit for 1 min.  Put a plate on top of ramekin and invert cake onto plate.
