- 7 ounces finely chopped bittersweet chocolate
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 3/4 stick)
- 1 pinch table salt

- 1 1⁄2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
directions
- Preheat oven to 425°F Spray a 6-cup muffin tin (3" diameter cups) with non-stick spray.
- Place chocolate, butter and salt in the top of a double boiler (or in a heatsafe bowl over a pot of boiling water). Stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
- In another bowl, beat vanilla, eggs and egg yolks. Add chocolate mixture, one spoonful at a time, whisking constantly, until the egg mixture is quite warm. Scrape egg mixture into chocolate mixture and whisk until fully blended. Stir in confectioner's sugar and flour; fold with spatula until just barely combined. Be careful not to over mix.
- Divide batter evenly amongst 6 prepared cups. Bake in preheated oven 7-8 minutes (cake will appear underbaked and the center will be quite wet). Remove from oven and serve immediately.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
