TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min. YIELD: 3 servings.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• 4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 1 Tablespoon dry red wine
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 large egg, room temperature + 1 egg yolk room temperature
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Additional confectioners’ sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°. In a microwave, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Stir in wine and vanilla.

In a small bowl, beat the egg, egg yolk and confectioners’ sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in the flour, ginger and cinnamon until well blended. Gradually beat in butter mixture.

Transfer to 3 greased 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake until a thermometer inserted in the center reads 160° and sides of cakes are set, 13-15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and let stand for 1 minute. Run a knife around edges of ramekins; invert onto dessert plates. Dust with additional confectioners’ sugar. Serve immediately.
