Microwave Flourless Chocolate Mug Cakes

Adapted from Microwave Flourless Chocolate Mug Cakes
Serves 2

Ingredients
4 squares Trader Joe's Pound Plus 72% Dark Chocolate
2 T. unsalted butter
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1/4 t. instant espresso
pinch cinnamon
sprinkle cayenne
1/8 t. orange extract
1 large egg
1 1/2 t. raw sugar
1/8 t. salt
1 1/2 t. Ghirardelli unsweetened cocoa powder
Confectioners' sugar and fresh berries, for garnish

Directions

Melt the chocolate and butter with the extracts, cinnamon, salt, and cayenne in the microwave in 30-second intervals for 1-2 minutes or until it's almost melted, stirring at each interval.  Let it cool slightly.
 
Whisk egg, then gradually add in sugar and whisk until it becomes thick and pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Fold in cooled chocolate mixture, then sift cocoa powder over top. Gently fold mixtures together until no streaks remain. 

Divide batter between 2 mugs. Microwave until tops are just firm to touch and centers are gooey when pierced with toothpick, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove mugs from the microwave (use a towel or oven mitt).  Dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve warm with berries.
