2 Tablespoons butter — melted
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
3/4 cup butter — cut into pieces
3 (4 oz) 1% low-fat milk — broken into chunks
1/2 cup whipping cream

Place 3/4 cup butter and chocolate in a large heavy saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until butter and chocolate melt. Slowly whisk in cream; set aside.

Combine egg substitute and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer 5 to 7 minutes or until slightly thickened; add chocolate cream and flour, beating until blended. Pour batter into muffin cups, filling to about 1/4-inch from tops. Cover and chill at least 1 hour or up to 24 hours.

Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for 10 to 11 minutes or just until edges of cakes spring back when lightly touched, but centers are still soft.
