Preheat oven to 425F and spray two ramekins (about 3-4 inches in diameter or about 4 ounces each) with cooking spray, place ramekins on a baking sheet; set aside. 2. To a medium microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate, butter, and heat on high power to melt, about 1 minute. Stop to whisk until smooth. If needed, return bowl to micro and heat in 15-second increments until chocolate can be whisked smooth. 3. Add the sugar, egg, egg yolk, and whisk until smooth. 4. Add the flour, optional espresso granules, and stir until just combined; don’t overmix. 5. Pour batter into prepared ramekins, divided evenly. 6. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until edges are set but center is still soft; don’t overbake. Baking times will vary based on oven, ramekins, and climate variances; bake until as done as desired. 7. Allow cakes to cool in ramekins for about 1 minute, gently rim the edges of ramekins with a paring knife, and invert over serving dishes to dislodge cakes. 8. Optionally top with ice cream, hot fudge, and serve immediately. Cakes are best warm and fresh.
