Molten Lava Cake

Something I've been wanting to make these for a long time!  They turned out great, only a couple minor alterations needing to be made.

I liked this recipe but I would be open to try another recipe because I am not sure if I love the texture.  When baking it is tricky to figure out when to take them out of the oven.  Something I learned was to use all the same size ramekins (because they cook differently).

These were also super rich.  I could only finish half of mine, and I am planning on next time making little mini ones about half or a third of the size to make it more manageable to eat (spilt one with two people) 

Ingredients
6 (1-ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
2 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
10 tablespoons (1 1/4 stick) butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 large eggs
3 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons orange liqueur

Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Grease 6 (6-ounce) custard cups. Melt the chocolates and butter in the microwave, or in a double boiler. Add the flour and sugar to chocolate mixture. Stir in the eggs and yolks until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and orange liqueur. Divide the batter evenly among the custard cups. Place in the oven and bake for 14 minutes. The edges should be firm but the center will be runny. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto dessert plates.
