Warm gooey chocolate center.
If that doesn't sound good to you, I'm not sure we can be friends.
Here's a pro tip: test your eggs if they could be of questionable good-ness. You really don't want to take a bite into a dessert and go "this tastes weird." For those who don't know how to test your eggs, listen up. It's easy. All you have to do is plop it into a glass of water. If it sinks, it's good. If it floats? Bad. Do not use. If it kind of bobs somewhere in the middle - you can use it, just make sure you use it soon.
See? Easy. There are no excuses for ruining perfectly good things.
Not that I did that. Because I wouldn't do that, would I? That's an amateur mistake, for baking losers!
...
I can only assume it was the eggs. Because otherwise, what could possibly make these taste weird? Nothing, because they're made of good things. If your eggs are good. Which we've discussed.
So just look at the pretty pictures and imagine the molten chocolate taste, sans weird eggs. It's the only way to move on from this sad state of affairs.
Molten Chocolate Cake
4 pieces (squares) semi-sweet baking chocolate

Let me tell you something. The other day, I went to this restaurant. They had this amazing dessert. It was called a chocolate chip cookie souffle. It came out in a little mini cast iron pan, and was served with ice cream. And it was DELICIOUS. I've...

One day. One day I will make the little mini molten chocolate cakes that I have been wanting to make for a while now. But this weekend did not provide that day. This weekend had another day. A day devoted to... flourless chocolate cake. You see, I recently...

Butter and chocolate whisked together.
Adding some sugar... this does not look a whole lot different.
And the eggs and flour. Only subtle differences now. It just looks chocolatey.
Fill up some ramekins.
Fresh out of the oven, they look pretty poofy.
Gooey chocolatey center. Would be better with ice cream. I also was lazy and did not invert it onto the plate to give you the full effect. Sorry. Sometimes laziness wins.
