MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly spray two 6-ounce ramekins with the cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess.
- Melt the butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the egg, egg yolk, granulated sugar and salt on high speed until it becomes light in color and texture, about 2 minutes. Turn the mixer to low speed and beat in the chocolate mixture just until combined. Sift the flour onto the mixture, then fold it in using a rubber spatula.
- Divide the batter between the two prepared ramekins and place them on a baking sheet. Bake the cakes until the edges are slightly puffed and set and the centers are just barely set, about 12 minutes.
- Remove the cakes from the oven and let rest for 1 minute. Run a paring knife around each ramekin, then invert each cake onto a plate. Top the cakes with raspberries and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE HACK
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Butter six 6-ounce ramekins and then spray them with cooking spray; line the bottoms with rounds of parchment. Put the ramekins on a baking sheet and put in the oven to preheat.
- Assemble the ingredients from the box for making the cake-like brownies, but separate the eggs. Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks in a bowl with a mixer. In a separate bowl, add the brownie mix and mix in the water, oil and egg yolks. Mix in 1/2 cup of the whipped egg whites to thin the brownie batter. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
- Working quickly, evenly divide the batter among the preheated ramekins, filling them about halfway full (about 1/2 cup per ramekin). Bake until the tops of the cakes are set but the centers are still a little soft to the touch, about 14 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Run an offset spatula around the edge of each cake and invert onto separate serving plates. Drizzle the plates with Sunny's 1-2-3 Berry Sauce, top each cake with a spoonful of whipped cream and garnish with a mint sprig.
- In a saucepot on medium-high heat, add the berries, sugar and lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until the berries begin to break down, the sugar dissolves and the liquid reduces slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.

MINT CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM CAKE
With just a 9-by-13 pan, a spoon and four store-bought ingredients, you can make an ice cream cake that's creamy, crunchy and fudgy in every bite. It starts with crushed chocolate-mint cookies that are covered with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Next, it's topped with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, with their cakey cookies and vanilla ice cream. Follow that with more mint chip ice cream, and you've made a six-layer cake without breaking a sweat. Feel free to experiment here: Swap out the mint cookies for snickerdoodles, pretzels or broken waffle cones, and the mint-chip ice cream for coffee, peanut butter or strawberry ice cream - or any combination that sounds good to you. Slice the cake into pieces big or small, then drizzle them with hot fudge or Magic Shell. This cake serves a crowd, but you can halve the ingredients and build it in an 8-by-8-inch pan for a smaller group.

Steps:
- Line a 9-by-13-inch pan with two layers of plastic wrap, leaving a few inches of overhang on all sides. Open all of the ice cream containers. Place one 1 1/2 quart (or 3 pints) on the counter and let soften until it resembles thick cake batter, 5 to 10 minutes; you'll use this ice cream first. Place the other containers in the refrigerator to soften while you build the first half of the cake. (Ice cream will reach the desired consistency in the refrigerator in 20 to 30 minutes.)
- Scatter the crushed cookies in a thin, even layer across the bottom of the pan. Spoon the first softened container of ice cream over the cookies and spread into an even layer. Press down as you go to adhere the ice cream to the cookies. If at any point the ice cream is melting to liquid, pop the cake and ice cream in the freezer to firm to a spoonable consistency.
- Place the pan in the freezer while you unwrap the sandwiches. Top the ice cream with a layer of ice cream sandwiches, cutting some as needed to fill the layer to the edges.
- Spoon the remaining ice cream over the top and spread into an even layer. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm, at least 2 hours or up to 1 week.
- To serve, use the plastic overhang to remove the cake from the pan. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve with a drizzle of hot fudge or Magic Shell. If you're finding the cake too solid to cut, don't wait for it to soften: Warm your knife by running it under hot water and wiping it dry between cuts.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE
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.

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:
- Use good quality chocolate for the best flavor. Use bittersweet or semisweet chocolate for a rich, intense flavor, or use a combination of dark and milk chocolate for a sweeter, more complex flavor.
- Make sure your butter and chocolate are at room temperature before you start. This will help them mix together smoothly and create a velvety texture.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will toughen the cakes.
- Be careful not to overcook the cakes. They should be cooked until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them set and prevent them from falling apart.
- Serve the cakes with your favorite toppings, such as vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
Conclusion:
Molten chocolate cakes are a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With their rich, chocolatey flavor and gooey center, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. The mint fudge sauce is the perfect finishing touch, adding a refreshing and minty flavor that complements the chocolate perfectly. If you are looking for a special dessert to impress your friends and family, molten chocolate cakes with mint fudge sauce are the perfect choice.
