Preparation

Step 1

Cake
Butter 8, 6 ounce ramekins and dust with flour. In a bowl, melt butter and chocolate, set aside and let cool. In a mixing bowl, use and electric mixer to combine eggs and sugar until pale yellow batter holds shape and forms ribbon on beaters. Blend flour into egg-sugar mixutre with the mixer for 3 minutes. Add chocolate mixture, being careful to incorporate everything; mix for 2 more minutes. Pour about 6 ounces of batter into each ramekin and refrigerate for 1 hour. In a preheated 475 degree oven, bake ramekins on a cookie sheet for 10-12 minutes, or until they are puffed up and don't jiggle when moved. Remove from oven and serve immediately. Can be served with chocolate sauch or whipped cream.

Walnuts
Cook sugar until melted and slightly amber colored. Mix nuts, sugar and salt together; being sure to coat the nuts and let cool on a non-stick surface.
