*** equipment ***
small saucepan
large mixing bowl
whisk
ramekins (the more the better - the mix thickens pretty quickly, but you can get two 2c ramekins in the oven twice each before it gets very thick)
 
*** ingredients ***
2 sticks unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing ramekins (~1/2 tbsp per ramekin)
4 tsp granulated sugar
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
pinch of cayenne or chili pepper powder
pinch of nutmeg
12oz semisweet chocolate, chopped or morsels
1c all purpose flour
2 1/2 c confectioner's sugar (you fucking read that right, prepare your insulin shot)
6 large eggs
6 large egg yolks
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp almond extract
 
Makes about 5-6 cups worth of mix
 
*** directions ***
preheat oven to 400F
 
butter the ramekins with 1/2 tbsp butter each, the sprinkle with the granulated sugar
 
melt the  2 sticks of butter in the saucepan over very low heat, then add the cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg, and chocolate
 
stir the chocolate constantly until it's melted through and smooth, then take it off the heat
in the mixing bowl, add the confectioner sugar, flour, vanilla, almond extract, eggs, and egg whites and whisk them until creamy
 
add the slightly cooled chocolate to the mix and continue whisking until thoroughly mixed
 
add the mix to the ramekins, filling halfway (fill too much and it'll take longer for the middle to bake right and the top will cook through)
 
put the ramekins in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, until the top becomes stiff, pulls away from the ramekin edges,and darkens a little, then pull out and let cool for ~5 minutes
 
run a thin knife around the edges of the ramekins, then place a plate face down over the ramekins and flip them upside down - they should fall right out. alternatively, they may break a little bit - butter the bottoms of the ramekins a little more and let them cook a teeny bit longer next time
 
dust with confectioner sugar, and add chocolate syrup, whipped cream, raspberries, whatever
