Time 35m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Raspberries, for garnish
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly spray two 6-ounce ramekins with the cooking spray and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out any excess.
  • Melt the butter and chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
  • Using a hand mixer, beat the egg, egg yolk, granulated sugar and salt on high speed until it becomes light in color and texture, about 2 minutes. Turn the mixer to low speed and beat in the chocolate mixture just until combined. Sift the flour onto the mixture, then fold it in using a rubber spatula.
  • Divide the batter between the two prepared ramekins and place them on a baking sheet. Bake the cakes until the edges are slightly puffed and set and the centers are just barely set, about 12 minutes.
  • Remove the cakes from the oven and let rest for 1 minute. Run a paring knife around each ramekin, then invert each cake onto a plate. Top the cakes with raspberries and dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE HACK

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 45m

Yield 6 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

Butter, for buttering the ramekins
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying the ramekins
One 18.2-ounce box brownie mix, such as Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Brownies, plus additional ingredients on the package for making the cake-like brownies
Sunny's 1-2-3 Berry Sauce, recipe follows
Fresh whipped cream, for serving
6 sprigs fresh mint
3 cups fresh or frozen berries
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Butter six 6-ounce ramekins and then spray them with cooking spray; line the bottoms with rounds of parchment. Put the ramekins on a baking sheet and put in the oven to preheat.
  • Assemble the ingredients from the box for making the cake-like brownies, but separate the eggs. Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks in a bowl with a mixer. In a separate bowl, add the brownie mix and mix in the water, oil and egg yolks. Mix in 1/2 cup of the whipped egg whites to thin the brownie batter. Gently fold in the remaining egg whites.
  • Working quickly, evenly divide the batter among the preheated ramekins, filling them about halfway full (about 1/2 cup per ramekin). Bake until the tops of the cakes are set but the centers are still a little soft to the touch, about 14 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  • Run an offset spatula around the edge of each cake and invert onto separate serving plates. Drizzle the plates with Sunny's 1-2-3 Berry Sauce, top each cake with a spoonful of whipped cream and garnish with a mint sprig.
  • In a saucepot on medium-high heat, add the berries, sugar and lemon juice. Cook, stirring, until the berries begin to break down, the sugar dissolves and the liquid reduces slightly, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or chilled.

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.

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: The type of chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your molten chocolate surprise. Opt for a high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 55% for a rich, decadent taste.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixed batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then stop.
  • Chill the batter: Chilling the batter before baking helps it to set and prevents it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cakes until the centers are just set: The centers of the cakes should be slightly gooey when you insert a toothpick. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly cakes.
  • Serve the cakes immediately: Molten chocolate surprise cakes are best served immediately after baking, when the centers are still warm and gooey.

Conclusion:

Molten chocolate surprise cakes are a delicious and dramatic dessert that is sure to impress your guests. By following these tips, you can create perfect molten chocolate surprise cakes every time.
