In a bowl, combine eggs and ⅓ cup flour, and stir until smooth. Gradually whisk in chocolate mixture until well blended.

Butter and flour four ½-cup souffle dishes, and divide batter among them. Bake until cakes are puffed and dry on surface but still soft in center, about 6 minutes.

These weren't all that flavorful - and I used Guittard bittersweet chocolate. I've had better!
Made this in fluted french tins for a birthday dinner for two. Whipped cream on the side. Easy, elegant, with so little fuss. Froze the remaining two for another dinner on the fly!
I have a bar of good quality chocolate flavored with hot chili - I wonder how it might work in these cakes?
