MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKES

Categories     Desserts

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter, plus more for buttering the ramekins
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped, best quality such as Ghirardelli
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons light brown sugar, packed
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
Confectioners sugar, vanilla ice cream or sweetened whipped cream, and berries

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Generously butter six 6-ounce ramekins (really be generous, and do not substitute non-stick cooking spray). Set the ramekins on a baking sheet.
  • Melt the butter in a medium bowl in the microwave. Immediately add the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted. If a few chunks remain, place the bowl back in the microwave for 20 seconds, then stir again. Repeat if necessary. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle or beaters, beat the eggs, egg yolks, brown sugar, vanilla and salt at high speed until thickened and pale, about 4 minutes. Add the melted chocolate mixture and flour to the egg mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until just combined (the chocolate sinks to the bottom so be sure to scrape it up into the batter).
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins and bake for 10 minutes, until the cakes are set and puffed over the edges of the ramekins. Let the cakes cool in the ramekins for 1 to 2 minutes; then, holding the hot ramekins with a dish towel, carefully invert the cakes onto dessert plates. They should pop right out, but you can run a thin-bladed knife around the edges if necessary. Serve immediately. (It's important not to let the cakes sit after baking, as the centers will continue to cook.)
  • Make-Ahead Instructions: The batter can be spooned into the ramekins, covered and refrigerated for several hours before baking. Take them out of the fridge about 30 minutes before baking so they come to room temperature.

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect molten center, make sure to remove the cakes from the oven just before the centers are completely set. The residual heat will continue to cook the centers, resulting in a gooey, molten chocolate interior.
  • For a richer chocolate flavor, use high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • If you don't have ramekins, you can also use small oven-safe dishes or even coffee mugs.
  • To prevent the cakes from sticking to the ramekins, grease them lightly with butter or cooking spray before pouring in the batter.
  • Serve the cakes immediately after baking, while the centers are still molten. You can top them with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries for an extra special treat.

Conclusion:

These molten chocolate cakes are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They're easy to make, incredibly delicious, and sure to impress your guests. With their rich chocolate flavor and gooey, molten centers, these cakes are sure to become a favorite in your home. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
