Steps:
- Make the creme anglaise: Bring milk, sugar, orange zest, and a pinch of salt to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Stir, and remove from heat. Cover, and let stand 1 hour.
- Reheat milk mixture and whisk into egg yolks in a bowl; return to pan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until just before mixture begins to simmer, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; cook, stirring, until mixture is thick and coats the back of a wooden spoon, about 4 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine sieve into a bowl; refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours or up to 3 days.
- Make the cake: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 6-cup baking or gratin dish with cooking spray. In a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a saucepan filled with 2 inches simmering water, melt butter and chocolate with 1/2 teaspoon salt, whisking to combine.
- Beat eggs, egg yolks, and sugar with a mixer on medium speed until light, frothy, and thick, 6 to 8 minutes. Add chocolate mixture, beating to combine. Add flour, beating to combine.
- Transfer batter to dish; bake until set around edge but still soft in center, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool for 3 minutes. Serve warm with creme anglaise.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9 inch round cake pans. Stir together the cocoa and boiling water from the first set of ingredients. Set aside to cool. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder, set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Add the dry ingredients alternately with the cocoa mixture. Mix only until combined. Divide evenly between the three prepared pans, and spread the batter out flat.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean, and the cake pulls away from the sides of the pan. Cool cakes on a wire rack.
- In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla. When the cream becomes thick, add the confectioners' sugar and continue to whip until stiff but not too grainy. Divide into three parts and spread onto two of the cooled layers. Stack the layers onto a nice plate, putting the two creamed ones on the bottom. Place the plain layer on the top. If there is a hump on the top of the cake, trim it off with a long serrated knife. Frost the sides with the chocolate buttercream frosting.
- To make the frosting, beat the remaining ingredients, butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and cocoa until light and fluffy, about 7 to 10 minutes. Frost sides of the cake, leaving a ridge that sticks up over the top edge. Spread the remaining cream filling over the top of the cake. Garnish with sprinkles, chocolate curls or seasonal fresh fruit.

RICH CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CREME ANGLAISE
Steps:
- To make the creme anglaise, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the almonds on a baking sheet and toast until nicely browned, stirring twice, about 10 minutes; watch carefully to prevent burning. Place in a saucepan with the milk and bring just to a boil. Remove from heat, cover and let stand 15 minutes.
- Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale yellow. Bring the milk mixture back to a simmer. Whisking constantly, add the milk to the yolk mixture. Return sauce to pan over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon; do not let it simmer. Strain through a fine sieve. Stir in the vanilla. Refrigerate until cold.
- To make the cake, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch springform pan. Place chocolate, brown sugar and butter in a metal bowl over a pan of barely simmering water until melted. Mix well. Stir in egg yolks and vanilla, then almonds, flour and salt.
- Whip egg whites until firm but not dry. Stir 1/3 of the whites into chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining whites. Scrape batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out only slightly wet, about 30 minutes. Cool.
- To serve, spoon sauce onto each plate and top with a slice of cake.

Steps:
- To make the coffee cream, in a large saucepan, combine the coffee and milk and bring just to a boil. Remove from heat, add the vanilla, cover and cool for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the yolks and sugar until thick and light-colored. Whisk in the flour. Remove and discard the vanilla bean and very slowly whisk the hot milk and coffee into the flour mixture.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the custard thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Immediately remove from heat and strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
- To make the cakes, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter and flour 10 2/3-cup ceramic ramekins.
- In the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, combine the chocolate, butter and rum and cook, stirring, until the chocolate melts and the mixture is completely smooth. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the sugar and egg yolks and whisk until thick and light-colored. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture. Fold in the chocolate and then the flour. Spoon the mixture into the ramekins, filling each 2/3 full. Bake until the cakes have risen and the tops just begin to crack, about 10 to 15 minutes. (The centers will still be slightly gooey.)
- Remove the cakes from the oven and immediately unmold them by inverting them onto dessert plates (run a thin-bladed knife around the edges of the ramekins if they stick). If necessary, rewarm cream in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Sprinkle the cakes with powdered sugar and spoon coffee cream around them.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cakes. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cakes until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry. A toothpick inserted into the center of a cake should come out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cakes cool completely before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Serve the cakes with your favorite toppings. Some good options include whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
Conclusion:
These warm chocolate cakes with coffee crème anglaise are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give these cakes a try. You won't be disappointed!
