Molten Chocolate Cakes for Father's Day

Here's the dessert I plan on making for my brother and his family in celebration of Father's Day.

Molten Chocolate Cakes
Serves 6

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temp, more for muffin tin
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more for muffin tin
3 large eggs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 salt
8 ounces bittersweet choc, melted
Confectionary sugar for dusting
Whipped cream (optional)

1. Preheat over to 400 degrees. Butter 6 cup muffin tin and dust with sugar.
2. Beat butter and sugar (yum) until fluffy. Beat in 1 egg at a time. Reduce mixer speed and beat in flour and salt. Beat in chocolate. Divide batter among muffin cups.
3. Place tin on a baking sheet, bake until cakes no longer jiggle (8-10 minutes). Let cool for 10 minutes
4. Turn out cakes onto serving plats. Dust each with confectionary sugar and serve with whipped cream or perhaps ice cream or some other yummy accompanyment like fresh raspberries.

If you try this, send me a comment - I'd like to know for what occassion, how it turned out and some other fun details!
