    Things To Grab

      Directions

      1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter two 10-oz. ramekins or custard cups. Dust with cocoa; set aside.

      2. Melt butter and chocolate in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently. Cool slightly.
      3. Beat eggs, egg yolks and sugar in a medium mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high for 5 minutes. Beat in flour and melted chocolate until combined. Divide batter between prepared ramekins.

      4. Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until sides of cakes are firm but centers are soft. Do not overbake.
      5. Cool cakes in ramekins for 5 minutes. Run a small knife or metal spatula along sides of cakes to loosen. Invert onto dessert plates. If desired, top with ice cream and hot fudge sauce; garnish with raspberries.
      6. Make-ahead prep: Prepare as directed through Step 3. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before baking.
