Chocolate Italian Souffle Cakes are a decadent dessert that originated in France and have since become a popular dessert worldwide. These individual cakes are light and airy on the inside, with a rich chocolate flavor that will satisfy any sweet tooth. Their delicate texture and fluffy appearance make them an impressive dessert to serve at any dinner party.

2.	Grease 8 four-ounce ramekins with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
3.	In a double boiler, gently melt the chocolate and butter together until smooth.
4.	In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
5.	Fold in the sifted flour and melted chocolate mixture, mixing until just combined.
6.	Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins, filling them about 3/4 of the way.
7.	Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cakes have risen and are set on the outside but still slightly jiggly in the center.
8.	Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
