A delicious and impressive dessert that was actually quite easy to make and turned out beautifully. The only changes I made was to substitute unsalted butter for the Fleischmann's and to butter the ramekins and dust them with sugar before adding the batter. The cakes had a very rich chocolatey flavor and luscious, gooey centers that oozed hot, molten chocolate. This is a very rich desert and one portion can easily be shared.
