Today’s Experiment: Molten Chocolate Cake
Wifey’s fave, the Molten Chocolate Cake has a runny, rich chocolate centre.
I used a recipie I got from the net:
4 oz dark chocolate
4 oz unsalted butter
2 eggs
1/4 C sugar
1 Tsp flourOven to 400 degrees. Butter and flour (or cocoa powder) two small ramikins. Melt butter and chocolate in double boiler. Once melted, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
When oven is to temp and chocolate has melted, whip eggs and sugar together until the ribbon forms. Pour in chocolate mixture and whip just to combine, then add flour and do likewise.
Pour in prepared ramikins (about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up the sides). Bake 12 minutes leaving the centers very wet. Remove from oven, run a knife around the edges and upend onto plates to serve. Makes 2-4 depending upon the size of your ramikins and how full you fill them.
If done correctly, you get a nice looking little chocolate cake, that when cut into oozes a dark chocolate sauce.
While it looked pretty good when I moulded them, it came out more like pudding than cake…


Result: Failure >_<
