Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450. Grease and flour six 6 oz ramekins. In a double broiler, melt the butter and chocolate over simmering water, whisking until smooth. Remove the insert from the pan.

Using an electric mixer, beat the whole eggs, egg yolks, and granulated sugar on high speed until pale and very thick about 8 minutes. Whisk in the chocolate mixture, then the flour until just combined.

Divide the batter among the prepared ramekins and submerge a stack of 4 chocolate mint pieces in the center of each. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake until slightly set, but still jiggly in the center, 12 to 14 minutes.

Invert the cakes onto plates, wait 20 seconds and remove the ramekins. Dust with the powdered sugar and serve immediately. Sub caramels for mints to change it up. Serves 6.
