Step 5

Melt 4 ounces of chocolate (1 baking bar) and butter in double boiler; whisk gently to blend.

Step 6

With an electric mixer, whisk eggs, yolks, sugar, and vanilla on high speed about 5 minutes, or until thick and light. Fold melted chocolate mixture and flour into egg mixture until just combined.

Step 7

Spoon cake batter into ramekins. Place a chocolate ball in the middle of each ramekin.

Bake about 15 minutes, or until cakes are firm to the touch. Let cool for about 5 minutes.
