Heb.10:26-27
26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries.

6 oz.  Bittersweet baking chocolate

10 T unsalted butter

1 1/2 c powdered sugar

1/2 c flour

3 whole eggs

3 egg yolks

1 t vanilla

1 t espresso powder (optional, but well worth it)

Preheat oven to 425.

Grease 6 (6 oz.) custard cups, dust with cocoa powder; place on baking sheet. 

Melt chocolate and butter (either in the microwave, or on the stove) until butter is melted.

Stir with wire whisk until chocolate is melted. (If doing this in the microwave, do not over heat the chocolate.)

Add the vanilla.  Add powdered sugar, flour, and espresso powder; mix well. 

Add whole eggs and egg yolks; beat until well blended. Divide batter evenly into custard cups. 

Bake 14-15 minutes or until cakes are firm around the edges but soft in the center. Let stand 1 minute. Run knife around cakes to loosen. Carefully invert cakes onto dessert dish.
