Ingredients:

2 oz. semi sweet baking chocolate, chopped or chips

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 tablespoon sugar

1 large egg

1 tablespoon all purpose flour

pinch of salt

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Butter a single 6or 8oz ramekin and dust with sugar.

Melt the chocolate either on a double boiler or in the microwave for about 30 seconds.

Cream butter and sugar.

When it looks like a paste, add egg. Whisk until foamy.

Stir in flour and salt.

Gently fold a bit of chocolate (don't heat the egg).

Incorporate remaining chocolate.

Pour into prepared ramekin.

Bake approx. 10 minutes.

After it is cool enough to touch, flip ramekin onto a plate.

Gently use a butter knife to ease the cake out and onto the plate.

Garnish with your choice of tasty toppings: powdered sugar, whipped cream, berries or ice cream.
