Molten Lava Cakes


(Makes 6 individual cakes)
6 T. heavy cream
11 ounces bittersweet chocolate (Divided 3oz for ganache/ 7.5oz for cakes)
9 T. butter
4 large eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
4 1/2 T. flour
1/2 tsp salt

Ganache: heat chocolate and cream in double boiler until smooth. Chill until smooth, about one hour. Shape into 6 balls and return to the fridge.

Preheat oven to 425*
Butter the ramekins.

Combine 9 T. butter and remaining 7.5 oz chocolate and melt over double boiler or in the microwave. Beat eggs and brown sugar about 4 minutes. Add vanilla. Fold in flour and salt.

Divide half the batter into the ramekins, place ganache, and put the remaining batter in the ramekins. Bake 13-15 minutes until tops are firm but cakes wobble. Let cakes cool 30 seconds before plating.
