ALMOST-FAMOUS MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE



Almost-Famous Molten Chocolate Cake image

Most people think of one dish when they think of Chili's: baby back ribs. Ever since that "I want my baby back..." jingle, ribs have been the star (along with comically oversized margaritas). But regulars covet something else: The Molten Chocolate Cake, oozing with warm chocolate ganache and topped with vanilla ice cream covered in a chocolate shell. The dessert debuted in 1998, and now Chili's sells more than 6 million a year - not bad for a chain that started out as a lone Dallas hamburger joint. Readers like Nikki Lazzara from Park Ridge, IL, have been asking us how to make the cake, but Chili's won't give up the recipe. So our chefs created this perfect imitation.

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 molten chocolate cakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 tablespoons unsalted butter (2 tablespoons melted, 4 tablespoons at room temperature)
1/2 cup natural (not Dutch-process) cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs, at room temperature
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Caramel sauce, for drizzling
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the cakes: Brush four 1 1/4-cup brioche molds (or use 10-ounce ramekins or jumbo muffin cups) with the 2 tablespoons melted butter. Dust the molds with cocoa powder and tap out the excess.
  • Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Bring the milk and 3/4 cup water to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat; set aside.
  • Combine the vegetable oil, 4 tablespoons room-temperature butter and the sugar in a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down the bowl and beater as needed. Add 1/2 cup cocoa powder and the vanilla; beat 1 minute on medium speed. Scrape down the bowl. Add 1 egg and beat 1 minute on medium-low speed, then add the remaining egg and beat 1 more minute.
  • With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the flour mixture, then the hot milk mixture. Finish mixing the batter with a rubber spatula until combined. Divide the batter evenly among the molds, filling each slightly more than three-quarters of the way.
  • Transfer the molds to a baking sheet and bake until the tops of the cakes are domed and the centers are just barely set, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack; let the cakes cool until they pull away from the molds, about 30 minutes.

COPYCAT WARM DELIGHTS MINI - LOW CALORIE, LOW FAT



Copycat Warm Delights Mini - Low Calorie, Low Fat image

You will not believe how DECEDANT this dessert is for 135 CALORIES! Of my own creation, Sure beats paying AT LEAST $1.50 for a 2 pack at the store! (and just as easy! Not to mention LESS CALORIES!) Please Enjoy! I always use a very small bowl to make it in (one my toddler's plastic bowls), but you could always use a small tupperware, a left over bowl from a store bought "warm delight mini", or maybe a coffee cup (haven't used one of those). Please review and let me know what you think! YUM!

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.

Provided by Mark Bittman

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:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
  • Make sure the butter and chocolate are completely melted before mixing them together. This will help to create a smooth batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough.
  • Use a spoon to drop the batter into the muffin cups. This will help to prevent the cakes from sticking.
  • Bake the cakes for the recommended amount of time. Overbaking will make the cakes dry.
  • Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help to prevent the chocolate from spilling out when you bite into them.

Conclusion:

This recipe is a great way to make delicious and decadent chocolate cakes at home. The cakes are easy to make, and they're always a hit with family and friends. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your cakes turn out perfect every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
