You can do it in a small bowl too...the resulting shape is nicer and it was even better with a little whipped cream on it.
I did make this recipe - which is awesome - and it can also be scaled to one, but shouldn't be cooked in the microwave:
Mint Chocolate Cakes with molten centers
3/4 cup chocolate chips (Ghardelli Bittersweet and Hershey's Mint Chocolate)
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
4 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1/4 cup all purpose flour
Preheat oven to 400 F (mine oven runs hot and is a convection - other ovens may need to be a little hotter). Butter or spray 4 ounce custard cups and sprinkle cocoa powder all inside.
Melt chocolate and butter in microwave - 22 seconds at a time, stirring each time, until almost completely melted. Beat eggs and sugar until light and frothy; add extracts and chocolate, best until mixed. Add flour and beat just until mixed.
Pour batter into custard cups. It should fill them almost to the tops. Put the cups onto a baking sheet and into the oven. *** Bake for 10-12 minutes until the tops just crack and the sides are set. The middles will still be liquid. remove from oven and let sit for 2 minutes.
Run knife around the edges and turn out onto plates. Garnish as desired - sprinkle powdered sugar over the top, drizzle with caramel or raspberry sauce, put whipped cream on top, serve with ice cream, or with strawberries or raspberries.
*** After putting the batter into the cups, you can refrigerate the batter for a day or two. Some people say that refrigerating for an hour or more makes the cakes taste better. If you do refrigerate the batter, remove from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature before baking.
From reviews of the original on AllRecipes, the cakes can be eaten cold with the centers going kind of fudgy. Or they can be reheated for maybe 30 seconds in the microwave to liquify the centers again.
