Molten Chocolate Cakes - Goop

FORMULA

1 1/2 tablespoons butter, plus more for the ramekins

1 1/5 oz. chocolate

1 egg, plus 1 egg yolk

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, plus 1 teaspoon

2 1/5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons créme fraîche

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

PROCESS

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Generously butter two 4 oz. ramekins.

Melt the butter and chocolate together in a small glass bowl set over a small pot of simmering water. Let it cool a bit while you whisk together the egg, egg yolk and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar in a separate bowl. Whisk in the melted butter and chocolate and then the flour. Fill the ramekins and bake for seven minutes. The edges and top should be just set.

Meanwhile, whisk the créme fraîche together with the remaining teaspoon of confectioners' sugar and the vanilla.

Remove the cakes from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes. Invert into dessert plates and serve each with a spoonful of créme fraîche.
