30-Second Chocolate Cake

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped

4 large eggs

Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Let cool. Whisk in eggs, sugar and flour until smooth. Pass the mixture through a strainer.

Transfer to a whipper; pressurize. Spray mixture into a greased, microwave-safe ramekin, leaving at least the top third of the container empty. Microwave until the foam has set, about 30 seconds. Flip onto a plate; dust with confectioners’ sugar.
