MOLTEN CHOCOLATE BABYCAKES
This is a fancy restaurant dessert that's easy to make at home: mix up the little cakes, stash them in a fridge for a day and then take them out as you sit down to your meal, popping them in the oven just 10 minutes or so before serving them with a dollop of vanilla or pistachio ice cream. As each oven varies, it's worth having a practice run of these to see exactly how long the babycakes need to give them this glorious texture.

Steps:
- Place a baking sheet on center rack in oven and heat oven to 400 degrees. Butter insides of six 6-ounce heatproof glass or ceramic baking dishes. (If using soufflé dishes, line bottoms with parchment paper; dishes with flared sides will not need lining.)
- In a small saucepan over low heat or in a microwave oven, melt chocolate; set aside to cool slightly. In a medium bowl, beat eggs together with a pinch of salt until frothy; set aside. Using an electric mixer, cream together 4 tablespoons butter and the sugar. Gradually add egg mixture, then vanilla. Add flour and mix well. Add chocolate and blend until smooth.
- Divide batter among six baking dishes and arrange them on baking sheet hot from the oven. Bake until firm and dry on surface, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove dishes from oven and immediately invert cakes onto small plates or shallow bowls. Serve hot.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE BABYCAKES
Steps:
- Prepare the Creme Anglaise and refrigerate as directed until serving. Position the oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Butter six 6-ounce custard cups or souffle dishes. Set aside. Melt the chocolate and set aside to cool slightly. Combine the butter, granulated sugar, salt and eggs in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer at medium speed, or mix in a food processor, until well blended. Add the flour and blend well. Add the vanilla and cooled chocolate. Blend until smooth. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared baking dishes. Smooth the surfaces with a small rubber spatula. Place on a baking sheet, transfer to the oven, and bake until the tops are well puffed, about 17 minutes. Remove the baking dishes to a wire rack to cool for about 5 minutes, then run a thin knife blade around the sides of each cake and invert directly onto individual serving plates. Top each cake with a sheet of gold leaf or lightly sift a little powdered sugar over the tops of the cakes. Spoon a portion of the Crème Anglaise around each cake, then add dollops of mango and raspberry purees (if using) and swirl with a wooden skewer.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
- Make sure the butter and chocolate are melted smoothly and completely before adding the other ingredients.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough cakes.
- Bake the cakes until the tops are just set and the centers are still gooey. Overbaking will result in dry cakes.
- Let the cakes cool for a few minutes before serving, so that the centers have a chance to set.
- Serve the cakes with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
Conclusion:
Molten chocolate babycakes are a delicious and indulgent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create molten chocolate babycakes that are sure to impress your friends and family.
