Time 30m

Yield 6 ramekins, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup brandy or 1/4 cup cognac
1/3 cup orange juice
1/2 cup dried cherries
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup butter, plus some for buttering the baking cups
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
3 teaspoons flour
6 teaspoons cocoa powder, for coating the baking cups

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, bring the brandy and orange juice to a simmer. Add the cherries, simmer 1 minute and turn off the heat. Soak the cherries in the warm mixture until they plump up, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • In a double boiler place the chocolate and the butter into the bowl and heat until the chocolate begins to melt. Stir to combine and continue to heat until the mixture is smooth and the chocolate is completely melted. Remove from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the whole eggs, yolks and sugar until the mixture turns light and thick.
  • Pour the melted chocolate into the egg mixture. Beat in the flour until just combined. Do not over-mix the batter.
  • Butter 6 (4-ounce) ramekins. Sprinkle each ramekin with 1 teaspoon cocoa powder and tap out the excess. Divide the batter among the ramekins. Drain the cherries and put a few cherries into the center of each ramekin. Use a spoon to push the batter over the cherries to cover them.
  • Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 7 to 9 minutes. The outside of the desserts will be set, but the centers will be soft.
  • To serve, invert each mold on a plate and let sit for 10 seconds. Slowly lift one side of the mold and the cake will fall out. (If the cakes won't easily come out, just serve them right in the cups.).

I followed the recipe exactly and the cakes turned out perfectly. They were moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor. The cherries added a nice tartness that balanced out the sweetness of the chocolate. I will definitely be making these again.

These cakes were a little dry, but the flavor was good. I think I would add some more butter or oil next time.

The cakes were delicious, but I found that they were a little too sweet for my taste. Next time I will use less sugar.
