Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dry red wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons egg yolk
  • 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Additional confectioners' sugar

Preparation

Step 1

In a microwave, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Stir in wine and vanilla.

In a small bowl, beat the egg, egg yolk and confectioners' sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in the flour, ginger and cinnamon until well blended. Gradually beat in butter mixture.

Transfer to two greased 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until a thermometer inserted near the center reads 160° and sides of cakes are set.

Remove from the oven and let stand for 1 minute. Run a knife around edges of ramekins; invert onto dessert plates. Dust with additional confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.
