If you want to use 1 cup ramekins that is fine, I didn't have any but the 2 cup ones, so the cake looks a bit lost in there. I can add some whipped cream or powdered sugar to this one. They are very rich, so a small amount is plenty, unless you're a chocoholic and no amount is ever enough.

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons ground pecans

How To Make individual flourless chocolate cakes

  • Step 1
    Preheat your oven to 425'F. Spray your ramekins with non-stick oil.
  • Step 2
    Separate your egg placing the white in one bowl and the yolk in another.
  • Step 3
    Mix the sugar and cocoa into the egg yolk and whisk together, add the ground pecans, water and melted chocolate. Whisk again to incorporate.
  • Step 4
    With clean beaters, whip up the egg white to a stiff peak. Gently fold into the egg yolk mixture with a spatula.
  • Step 5
    Spoon evenly into the 4 prepared ramekins.
  • Step 6
    Bake at 425'F for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Garnish with your favorite topping.
  • Step 7
    Note: If you want to leave out some of the melted chocolate you can. Just a a little more of the unsweetened cocoa powder, it will make this even chocolatier tasting and lighten up on the fat content.
  • Step 8
    Enjoy!
