Steps:

• The night before, chill the squares of dark and white chocolate in the freezer.
• On cooking day, preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Melt the 10 1/2 oz chocolate either in a double boiler or in the microwave.
• Add the butter and the icing sugar, and blend this until you get a very smooth, thick consistency. Divide this mixture into 2 and have it in 2 different bowls.
• Whip the flour and 3 eggs in one bowl.
• Whip the ground almonds and 3 eggs in another bowl.Incorporate the flour-based mixture into one of the two chocolate mixtures; incorporate the almond-based mixture into the other bowl of chocolate.
• Each chocolate batter will make 7 little cakes, a total of 14. Use muffin pans, or something shallower. They should be buttered. Silicone pans will work well and should be lightly buttered.
• From each chocolate bowl, pour the batter into 7 little recipients.
• Take the chocolate squares from the freezer, and place one in the center of each of the 14 cake batters.
• Put the pans on the middle rack of the oven, and cook for 12 - 15 minutes.
• After they are out of the oven, let them cool, just enough to handle, before popping them out of their molds.
• Place them into paper cups. Serve warm.
