Instructions
In a small measuring cup or a ramekin, mix melted butter. Coat two 8oz. ramekins with the mixture.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
In a medium bowl, place chocolate and top with butter. Microwave in 10 second intervals, until the butter is melted and covers the chocolate.
Let sit. Do not stir.
In a medium mixing bowl, beat egg, yolk, sugar and salt until pale and thick, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Whisk the chocolate until smooth.
Quickly add chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, add flour and fold everything together with a rubber spatula.
Divide equally among the ramekins.
Place ramekin onto a baking sheet.
Bake cakes for 12 minutes.
Remove from oven and let stand 1 minute.
Cover each ramekins with a plate you will be serving it on. Let stand 1 minute.
Flip the plate and keeping the ramekin upside down on the plate, let stand 1 minutes. Tap gently and pull the ramekin out.
Serve immediately garnished with whipped cream or dusted with powdered sugar.
