Ingredients
- 6 ounces baker's dark bittersweet chocolate baking bars
- 10 tablespoons of butter
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 3/4 cups flour
- 2 ounces of bourbon whiskey (again, budget bourbon will do - but I'm from Kentucky, soooo..)
- 3 whole eggs
- 3 egg yolks
Step 1
You will need: Custard or souffle baking cups and a baking sheet. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Grease your souffle cups generously with butter.

Stir this all up with a fork. It takes quite a bit of effort, and when you're done you'll have a thick, almost dough like mud:
Step 11
When you add your eggs and egg yolks in and whisk thoroughly, however, your mud will turn into creamy smooth batter:
Step 12
Dispense evenly into your souffle cups. You'll probably have more batter than you need for four cups. Don't overfill the cups:

Step 14
When they are done they will look firm around the edges and soft in the center. Let them stand for a minute or two. You will notice that they will shrink down some.

Step 16
Turn them out upside-down on a dessert dish and sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a classy finish.
Step 17
Make absolutely certain that you serve the molten chocolate bourbon cake warm immediately, because it contains a gooey surprise your guests will not be expecting. The short cooking time leaves the center a molten, gooey, delicious pudding (which solidifies somewhat as it cools):
