Categories     Cake     Chocolate     Dessert

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, room temperature, lightly beaten
1/2 cup cake flour
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Gold leaf for garnish, optional
Powdered sugar for dusting, if not using gold leaf
Mango and raspberry purees, optional

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.

I loved the chocolate flavor of these cakes, but I thought they were a bit too dense. I might try using a different type of flour next time.

These cakes were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add more butter or oil next time.

I thought these cakes were just okay. I've had better molten chocolate cakes before.

I had a bit of trouble getting the cakes to rise evenly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I've made these cakes several times now and they are always a hit. They are so easy to make and they always turn out perfectly. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe because I'm not a very experienced baker, but it turned out great! The cakes were delicious and I didn't have any problems making them. I will definitely be making these again.
