Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 6 ounce bittersweet chocolate
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup whisky, preferably glenmorangie quinta ruban
Directions
- Butter and lightly flour 4 6-ounce ramekins. Tap out the excess flour. Set the ramekins on a baking sheet.
- In a double boiler, over simmering water, melt the butter with the chocolate. Whisk until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with egg yolks, sugar, and salt, at a high speed until thickened and pale.
- Fold the chocolate into the egg mixture, along with the flour.
- Divide the batter between the prepared ramekins. Bake for 12 minutes, until the sides are firm, but the centers are soft. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 minute. Cover each one with an inverted plate, and carefully turn them over. Let them stand for 10 seconds before removing the mold. Serve immediately with the whisky cream.
- Whip cream and sugar in a clean, chilled bowl until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the whisky.
