BAKED FUDGE CAKE



Baked Fudge Cake image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound fine quality semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
10 tablespoons butter
4 eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons instant espresso or coffee powder
1 cup chilled heavy cream, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Butter a 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with a round of waxed or parchment and butter the paper.
  • In a 2 1/2 or 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring until chocolate is about half melted. Remove the pan from the heat and stir until melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, use a hand held or stationary electric mixer to begin beating the eggs at medium-low speed until frothy, then raise the speed to high and beat the eggs until they are light in color, thick, fluffy and about tripled in volume, about 5 minutes. Beat in the flour and espresso powder. Stir about 1/4 of the egg mixture into the chocolate to lighten it, then fold the chocolate mixture into the eggs in the mixing bowl.
  • Spoon the batter into the pan. Bake for 17 minutes. Cool the pan on a rack for about 10 minutes, then refrigerate until just firm enough to cut, about 30 minutes. (At this point, the cake will be firm and fudgy about 1/3 of the way to the center, and softly set like a mousse in the center.) The dessert can also be refrigerated for up to 5 days and served chilled and firm throughout, or frozen up to 1 month. Serve at cool room temperature or slightly chilled. Shortly before serving, whip the cream to firm peaks.

PIONEER WOMAN'S BAKED FUDGE



Pioneer Woman's Baked Fudge image

When I saw Ree Drummond (the Pioneer Woman of blog and Food Network fame) make this recipe on her show, it looked so easy and had ingredients I ALWAYS have on hand - I knew that I'd be making it very soon. And I did - I made it that night, and have made it over and over again since! It's like a chocolate lava cake, but more lava than cake... the best part, in my opinion! She serves this with fresh whipped cream, but we've always eaten it with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream. The contrast of hot creamy chocolate and cold vanilla goodness is phenomenal!

Time 55m

Yield 4 ramekins, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa (HEAPING tablespoons!)
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup butter, melted (1 stick)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Beat the eggs until light in color. Beat in the sugar until just combined. Add the cocoa, flour, melted butter and vanilla extract. Mix gently until well combined.
  • Pour the batter into 4 large ramekins. Set the ramekins into a larger baking pan halfway full of water. I use a 9x13 glass pyrex pan and my 4-cup measuring cup full of water. It's easier to set the ramekins in the pan all off to one side, then put the pan in the oven, THEN pour the water in carefully in the empty spot not covered with ramekins.
  • Bake until the upper crust is crispy and the rest of the batter is firm but not set, 40 to 50 minutes. If you pull it out of the oven and have second thoughts, stick it back in for 10 more minutes.
  • Serve with sweetened whipped cream or as we prefer, a scoop of good ol' vanilla ice cream. Best warm right from the oven, but easily re-warmed in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute before topping with the ice cream.
