Chocolate lava cake

Chop the chocolate and melt it in a bowl over a pot of boiling water, or in the microwave.

Cream the sugar and butter until pale yellow.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing each in completely before the next; add the flour and mix in completely; finally add the melted chocolate.

Butter the ramekins and coat them with sugar.

Fill and bake at 400 degrees for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Cool 5 to 10 minutes, run a spatula or knife around the edges and turn out.
