Clean mixer blades. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites at high speed with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar, and beat to medium-soft peaks. Fold egg white mixture into chocolate mixture, one-third at a time. Divide batter among prepared ramekins, filling each three-fourths full. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.

Bake at 350u00b0 for 20 minutes. Rotate pan, and bake 10 to 12 minutes more or until cakes rise slightly above ramekin rims and tops feel set but slightly soft in center. Remove from oven, and run a small knife gently around ramekins to loosen cakes. Let cool 5 minutes (cakes will fall slightly), and loosen from ramekins again. Let cool completely.
