Molten Chocolate Cake

This is a fairly new recipe to me, but has been requested by a few people. This is a great dessert that they serve at Applebee's. It looks like an innocent little cake and then you stick your fork in and ooey gooey deliciousness issues forth from the center. It's scrumptious and irresistible.

While this recipe is fairly new to me, it did bring back many painful (but yummy) memories of not being able to wait to eat and burning my tongue on something I won't be able to taste because of my impatience. Let this serve as a warning to you all...give it a minute to cool. You'll thank me. And now, without further ado...the recipe!

Molten Chocolate Cake
4 squares (ounces) semi-sweet chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
6 Tbs. Flour

Melt together butter and chocolate. Mix in flour and sugar. Stir in eggs. Pour into four 3/4 cup souffle dishes and bake for 13-14 minutes at 425ยบ. Serve with whipped cream.



*Tips - If you stir the eggs into the chocolate before the sugar/flour, they'll curdle...so don't do it.
- For smaller cakes, divide batter into ten muffin tins and bake for 10 minutes.
