JEAN-GEORGES'S WARM CHOCOLATE CAKE



Jean-Georges's Warm Chocolate Cake image

Just about every restaurant around has a version of molten chocolate cake on the menu, and many claim to be the original, but the cake that Jean-Georges developed at Lafayette Restaurant in New York is the most delicious, the one with the greatest contrast in textures. It's the only dessert that stays on the menu year-round at Jean Georges. (The photograph is pages 144-145.)

Yield serves 8 on it¿s own or 16 as part of fourplay

Number Of Ingredients 11

18 tablespoons (255g) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
8 1/2 ounces (250g) bittersweet chocolate (preferably Guittard Quetzalcoatl 72% cacao), chopped
5 large egg yolks
5 large eggs
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (125g) sugar
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon (50g) all-purpose flour
Chocolate Sauce (page 268)
Chocolate Crumble (page 213)
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (page 220)
Crystallized Vanilla (page 186; optional)
Confectioners' sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Butter eight 4-ounce ramekins or sixteen 2-ounce molds and dust them lightly with flour. Set the ramekins on a baking sheet.
  • Put the butter and chocolate in a glass bowl and melt in the microwave, using 30-second bursts. Stir until smooth.
  • Put the egg yolks and eggs in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the whisk. Beat at medium speed until frothy. Pour in the sugar and increase the speed to medium-high. Continue to beat until the eggs have tripled in volume.
  • Scrape the butter and chocolate into the eggs. Beat until well mixed, scraping the bowl once or twice. Sift the flour over the batter and fold it in gently.
  • Put the batter in a pastry bag and pipe into the ramekins. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until you're ready to serve the dessert or for up to 8 hours.
  • Take the cakes out of the refrigerator to bring them to room temperature. Heat the oven to 475°F or 450°F on convection.
  • Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake the cakes until the sides and tops are set, about 4 minutes for small cakes or 6 to 7 minutes for large ones. The centers will still be very soft.
  • Invert the ramekins onto dessert plates. Leave for about 10 seconds, then lift off the ramekins. Spoon a little chocolate sauce around each cake. Make a small pile of chocolate crumble to the side, and top with a scoop of ice cream. Garnish the ice cream with crystallized vanilla and the cake with confectioners' sugar, if you want. Serve immediately.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE



Molten Chocolate Cake image

Here is a can't-fail version of the chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten's warm, soft chocolate cake. He says more than a thousand of these cakes are made in his restaurants every day. The ingredient list is short - butter, chocolate, eggs, sugar and flour - and the video that accompanies this recipe shows exactly how the magic of the chocolate-oozing molten cake comes to be.

Categories     quick, dessert

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the molds
4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
4 large eggs
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons flour, plus more for dusting the molds

Steps:

  • Put the butter in a medium bowl and melt it in the microwave. Add the chocolate to the hot butter and stir until melted.
  • Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, and add 2 more yolks (discard the extra whites). Add the sugar, and beat or whisk until light and thick, about 1 minute. Add egg mixture and 2 teaspoons flour to the melted chocolate; beat until combined.
  • Butter and lightly flour four 4-ounce molds or ramekins (make sure not to miss any spots, or the cakes will stick). Tap out the excess flour. Divide the batter among the molds. (At this point you can refrigerate them for up to 3 hours; just bring them back to room temperature before baking.)
  • When you're ready to bake, heat the oven to 450. Put the molds on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the cakes have puffed up a bit, the tops are barely set and the cakes still jiggle slightly when shaken, 7 to 9 minutes (better underbaked than overbaked). Let sit for 1 minute.
  • Put a plate on top of the ramekin and (with a potholder to protect your hand) carefully invert the cake onto the plate. Let it sit for 10 seconds, then lift up the ramekin. Serve immediately, with ice cream, sorbet or whipped cream.

JEAN-GEORGES VONGERICHTEN MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKES



Jean-Georges Vongerichten Molten Chocolate Cakes image

The original recipe for these wonderfully decadent cakes, a great idea for making them for Valentine's Day or any other special occasion. I included the neat bit of trivia for how these wonderful cakes came to be. Sometimes that best creations come from accidents :) TRIVIA: These cakes were supposedly created when Vongerichten was creating a new dessert recipe and pulled them out of the oven precipitately. When he cut into it one, instead of the dense crumb he expected, a center of molten chocolate oozed out, and a classic was born. - Linda Avery

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 27m

Yield 8 cakes, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup unsalted butter, plus more to butter the molds
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, preferably Valrhona 66%
4 eggs
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons flour, plus more for dusting

Steps:

  • In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, heat the butter and chocolate together until the chocolate is almost completely melted. While that's heating, beat together the eggs, yolks, and sugar with a whisk or electric beater until light and thick.
  • Beat together the melted chocolate and butter; it should be quite warm. Pour in the egg mixture, then quickly beat in the flour, just until combined.
  • Butter and lightly flour four 4-ounce molds, custard cups, or ramekins. Tap out the excess flour, then butter and flour them again. Divide the batter among the molds. (At this point you can refrigerate the desserts until you are ready to eat, for up to several hours; bring them back to room temperature before baking.).
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Bake the molds on a tray for 6 to 7 minutes; the center will still be quite soft, but the sides will be set.
  • Invert each mold onto a plate and let sit for about 10 seconds. Unmold by lifting up one corner of the mold; the cake will fall out onto the plate. Serve immediately.
