Molten Chocolate Cake Recipe

Here is the recipe for Molten Chocolate Cake that we
serve at Tranquilo Bay. We make it
using our friend's Dave & Linda's delicious
organic chocolate. I think it is my favorite
chocolate cake as you really get to taste the
chocolate. Use the highest cacao content
chocolate that you can find. This recipe has
plenty of butter in it to compensate for the
dryness of the high cacao content chocolate.
6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cup sugar
3 large eggs
½ teaspoon vanilla
1. Preheat the oven to 400 (360 convection oven) degrees. In a saucepan, bring ½ inch of water to a simmer. Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and set it over the saucepan until the chocolate is melted. Stir; remove from the heat.
2. In a small bowl, mix the flour and sugar. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs. Whisk in the flour and sugar, then stir in the melted chocolate until combined. Scrape into six six ounce ramekins. Bake for about 12 minutes until the edges are firm and the center is still runny. Serve the cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream in the center while still warm.
