I use a variation in my catering which is the bomb!

6 oz bittersweet chocolate
2 oz semi sweet chocolate
1 1/4 stick of butter
1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
1 1/2 cup Confection Sugar (powdered)
3 large eggs
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 Tablespoons Orange Liquor

I mix as you described and bake at 425 for 14 minutes.
Just a small variation but a deep, rich flavor with a hint of orange!

That's a amazing desert recipe. I tired it at place and it was too good specially the chocolate  added an extra flavor on it.

I had forgotten this post and never saw the question as to liqueur choice. I like Grand Marnier in a glass but has too much depth for this recipe to me, I use Cointreau or a cheap Triple Sec which works well with the chocolate.  I like both recipes as anything with chocolate makes me smile.
