Burning Love Molten Chocolate Cakes Recipes

EMERIL'S EASY MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Butter and flour 4 (6-ounce) ramekins or baking dishes, tapping out the excess flour.
• Set on a baking sheet.
• In a double boiler, or a glass bowl set over a pan of boiling water, melt butter with the chocolate, cream, and powdered sugar, stirring until smooth.
• Remove from the heat.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and salt until thick ribbons form, about 3 minutes.
• Sift flour into the egg mixture and fold together.
• Fold the chocolate into the egg mixture. Divide among the prepared dishes and bake until the sides of the cake are set and the tops are puffed but still soft, about 10-12 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool in the ramekins for 2 minutes, then unmold onto dessert plates.
• Sprinkle cocoa over the cakes, and serve.
• Fresh berries, ice cream or whipped cream make a nice accompaniment.

BURNING LOVE MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease 6 (6-ounce) custard cups. (I just spray with cooking oil.)
• 2. Melt chocolate and butter in the microwave in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl. When melted, remove from the microwave. Mix the sugar and the flour into the melted butter and chocolate on low speed.
• 3. Add the eggs and egg yolks. Continue to mix on low speed until well blended. Add the vanilla and set aside.
• 4. Divide batter evenly among custard cups. Set on a cookie sheet and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 14 minutes. IMPORTANT!!! Be careful not to overbake. Edges should be firm but the center will be runny.
• 5. Run a knife around the edge to loosen and invert onto a dessert plate.
• 6. Garnish as desired. I prefer to sprinkle with confectioner sugar and set a strawberry by the side. My husband likes raspberries and a dollop of whipped cream with his. I have a friend who likes his sprinkled with confectioner sugar and then sprinkled with chopped pecans. The possibilities are endless so just let your creative juices flow. Enjoy!!!!
