HOW TO COOK 🍳

To Make The Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 450F.

2. Spray your ramekins with pan spray and then use two tablespoons of sugar to coat the inside of the ramekin.
3. Bring a medium saucepan filled with an inch of water to a boil over high heat.
4. In a medium heatsafe mixing bowl, combine the 1 stick of unsalted butter and the dark chocolate. Place over the pan of boiling water and stir occasionally as they melt. Mix well until homogeneous.

5. In a separate bowl, combine the 2 eggs, 2 egg yolks, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and an optional pinch of S&P Seasoning.

6. Whisk the mixture until it lightens in color, becomes foamy, and falls in ribbons. Set aside.
7. Using your rubber spatula, fold the chocolate into the egg mixture.
8. Fold in the all purpose flour.
9. Portion evenly between your baking containers, set on a sheet tray, and bake until the outer edge is set and the inside is still jiggly, about 6-10 minutes. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.
