Meanwhile, melt chocolate and butter together over simmering water (double boiler), cool slightly. Using whisk and electric mixer, beat egg whites until soft peaks form and gradually add 25ml sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Whisk warm chocolate mixture into yolks, and sift in flour. Fold egg whites into chocolate yolk mixture.
Divide among custard cups and bake 12-15 minutes until puffed and set. Cool 1-2 minutes. Loosen sides with knife, and cover with a dinner place, and flip over. Slowly jiggle out the cake.
