Adapted from Barbara Kafka Time: 15 minutes
- 8 tablespoons cold butter, cut into pieces, plus 2 tablespoons, softened
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup cake flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 3 eggs
- Ice cream or sweetened whipped cream for serving, optional.
1. Use softened butter to grease a 4-cup bowl (Corningware works well). Grind chocolate in a food processor, then add cold butter and sugar; process until combined. Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
2. Pour into bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and cook on high for 4 to 5 minutes, or until just set. Remove, pierce plastic with tip of a sharp knife, and cover with a heavy plate; let rest for 10 minutes.
3. Unmold onto a serving plate and serve warm or cold, with ice cream or whipped cream if desired.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings.
