I like this recipe because it doesn't make a lot and you can easily cut it in half to make dessert for two people. I disagree with the reviewers who suggest a "sweeter" chocolate: Bittersweet is the way to go, and the ratio of chocolate and sugar is perfect. I added an extra tsp. of flour since I'm at high altitude, and I thought it might help the recipe--but no idea if it made any difference. At 7 minutes, mine was pretty "unset" in the middle, which was probably okay, but it made me nervous. I left it in a few more minutes and it baked almost all the way through (meaning little to no "goo," but the inside was still soft). I dusted one ramekin with flour and one with cocoa powder. The cake with the flour dusting came out of the dish "cleaner" with no breaks, but the cocoa-dusted ramekin produced a prettier cake. Overall, very tasty! UPDATE: I made this with an extra half tsp. of flour and baked for 7 minutes--came out set on the outside with a liquid center, just the way I imagine it should be. Put lots of fresh (real) whipped cream on there--the chocolate taste is so heavy, it needs something to balance it!
