Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed, plus more, room temperature, for ramekins
1/3 cup sugar, plus more for ramekins
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 large eggs plus 2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
Caramel Sauce for Chocolate Pudding Cakes, for serving
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter four 6-ounce ramekins, then coat lightly with sugar, tapping out excess. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine butter and chocolate. Microwave until melted, about 1 minute; stir until smooth. (Or melt mixture in a heatproof bowl set over, not in, a pan of simmering water.)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, yolks, flour, and salt; add chocolate mixture and whisk to combine. Fill each ramekin three-quarters full with batter; place on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate 15 minutes.
  • Bake until center of a cake is soft but not wet when pressed, 27 to 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes. Serve cakes warm, topped with caramel and whipped cream.

MARTHA'S WARM CHOCOLATE PUDDING CAKES



Martha's Warm Chocolate Pudding Cakes image

There's something extra-special about an individually sized dessert -- especially when it's a molten chocolate cake served warm out of the oven. You can prepare these rich chocolate pudding cakes up to a day ahead and refrigerate them, then just pop them in the oven when you sit down to dinner. They'll be done by the time you're ready for dessert. And they reheat easily, so you can have two one night and two the next. This recipe appears in our cookbook "Martha Stewart's Newlywed Kitchen" (Clarkson Potter).

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Ice cream, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place four 6- to 8-ounce ovenproof bowls on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Place chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally just until melted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; mix in 2 tablespoons sugar, then egg yolks and vanilla.
  • In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer, beat egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. With mixer running, gradually add remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; beat until mixture is stiff and glossy.
  • Using a flexible spatula, fold about a third of egg-white mixture into chocolate mixture; gently fold in remaining egg-white mixture just until combined. Divide among bowls. (Puddings can be prepared in advance up to this point; cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 1 day.)
  • Bake until tops are puffed and cracked but insides are still quite soft (a toothpick inserted in center will come out gooey), 20 to 25 minutes (or 25 to 30 minutes if refrigerated). Serve warm or at room temperature (puddings will sink as they cool), topped with ice cream, if desired.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 ounces good quality semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2-ounce unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped
3 tablespoons +1 teaspoon unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
Whipped cream, for garnish
Cocoa powder, for garnish

Steps:

  • • Lightly butter 2 ramekins with 1 teaspoon of butter and set aside. • In the top of a double boiler place semi-sweet and unsweetened chocolate and stir occasionally until melted. • Remove from heat and stir in 3 tablespoons butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, flour, baking powder and cocoa. • With an electric mixer, beat at medium-high speed until pale and very thick, about 5 minutes. • Place mixture in prepared ramekins, filling about half-full. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 3 hours. • When ready to serve, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place ramekins on the middle shelf in the oven and bake until edges are set but centers are still shiny, about 10 or 11 minutes. • Invert pudding cakes onto plates and serve immediately, garnished with whipped cream or ice cream, and dust with cocoa powder. (Desserts may also be served directly from ramekins.)

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and ready. This prevents scrambling during the baking process.
  • Quality Ingredients: Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing can result in tough cakes. Mix the batter only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Baking Time: The cakes are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Serve Immediately: These cakes are best served warm from the oven with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

Warm chocolate pudding cakes are a delicious and indulgent dessert perfect for any occasion. With their rich, chocolatey flavor and gooey, molten center, these cakes will surely satisfy your sweet tooth. They're also relatively easy to make, so even novice bakers can give them a try.
