• 2 ounces dark chocolate or bittersweet baking chocolate (I used Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Bar; I prefer bars or baking chocolate to chocolate chips)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (1/2 of 1 stick)
• 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk (discard white or save for another use)
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant espresso coffee granules, optional but recommended (doesn’t make cakes taste like coffee and serves to enhance the chocolate flavor)
• ice cream for serving, optional but recommended
• hot fudge for serving (homemade or storebought), optional but recommended
