1/2 cup butter
4 (1-ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

Heat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Butter and flour 4, 4 ounce ramekins or custard cups.
In the top half of a double boiler set over simmering water,
heat the butter and the chocolate until chocolate is almost
completely melted.
Beat the eggs, egg yolks and sugar together until light colored
and thick.
Beat together the melted chocolate and butter.
While beating, slowly pour the chocolate mixture into the
egg mixture, then quickly beat in the flour and mix until just
combined.
Divide the batter between the 4 molds and bake for 6 to 7
minutes. The centers of the cakes will still be quite soft.
Invert cakes on serving plates and let sit for about 15 seconds,
then unmold.
Serve immediately with fresh whipped cream, if desired.
