Individual Chocolate Mousse Cakes

There are times when nothing will do but incredibly intensely rich chocolate. And these individual chocolate mousse cakes conquer any chocolate craving. This recipe is made with only three ingredients; the cakes are both simple and decadent.

These are best if served warm, so the centers are still gooey but are quite good chilled when the middle has the texture of taffy.

Recipe adapted from parents.com. Makes 12 individual cakes.

Ingredients

* 2 bars (7 ounces each) milk chocolate
* 6 large eggs
* 1/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Directions

2. Melt chocolate in microwave. Begin with one minute. Stir. The heat in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until melted.

3. Stir eggs and flour into melted chocolate with wire whisk or wooden spoon. Ladle into prepared muffin-pan cups, dividing equally.
