Tortino (Molten Chocolate Cake)

INGREDIENTS
• 6 ounces baker's dark bittersweet chocolate baking bars
• 10 tablespoons of butter
• 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
• 3/4 cups flour
• 2 ounces of bourbon whiskey
• 3 whole eggs
• 3 egg yolks


Step 1 
You will need: Custard or souffle baking cups and a baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Grease your souffle cups generously with butter.

Step 2
Place well-greased souffle cups on the baking sheet.

Step 3 
Place the 10 tablespoons of butter along with the baker's chocolate in a bowl.

Step 4 
Put them in the microwave for two minutes to melt.

Step 5 
Whisk to incorporate the butter and still-melting chocolate.

Step 6
When you're done you'll have a nice, creamy smooth sauce.

Step 7
Add your two ounces of bourbon (about four tablespoons).

Step 8 
Add your flour and sugar.

Step 9
The Flour and Sugar.

Step 10 
Stir this all up with a fork. It takes quite a bit of effort, and when you're done you'll have a thick, almost dough like mud:

Step 11
When you add your eggs and egg yolks in and whisk thoroughly, however, your mud will turn into creamy smooth batter:

Step 12
Dispense evenly into your souffle cups. You'll probably have more batter than you need for four cups. Don't overfill the cups:

Step 13
Put them in the oven and set the timer for 14 minutes.
