    2. Preheat oven to 350ºF and butter four individual ramekins. Set aside.

    3. Melt chocolate on a low flame in a double boiler until liquid smooth.

    4. Meanwhile in a bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until it starts to whiten and foam up.

    5. Once chocolate is melted, remove from the heat and add in the butter, coffee, and cinnamon. Keep mixing until all of the butter is melted and the spices are incorporated. Fold the chocolate mixture into the eggs and then add the flour and keep mixing until incorporated.
