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.

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 4 pieces
3 large eggs
3 large egg yolks
1/3 cup baker's sugar (superfine sugar) or regular sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour

Fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly butter six 3/4-cup ramekins or custard cups. Stir chocolate and butter in heavy small saucepan over low heat until melted and smooth. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
  • Using electric mixer, beat eggs, egg yolks, and 1/3 cup sugar in large bowl until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Add all purpose flour and beat until blended.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the pudding cakes will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cakes tough and dense. Stir just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the cakes are underbaked, they will be gooey and runny. If they are overbaked, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Serve the cakes immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Pudding cakes are best served fresh, but they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
