Flourless Molten Cakes Recipes

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE OH-SO-GOOD MOLTEN CAKE

Steps:

• Have all ingredients at room temperature before you start.
• Preheat the oven to 400° F.
• Prepare muffin tins-- butter them generously, then sprinkle with sugar, tapping the tins on the counter to distribute it evenly.
• Using a double boiler or microwave, melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring to encourage it.
• Remove from heat and sift in the cocoa, stirring with a fork or small whisk until smooth.
• Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add sugar, beating on high speed until stiff but not dry.
• Use a rubber spatula to fold some of the whites into the chocolate mixture, just to lighten it.
• Fold in remaining whites.
• Spoon into prepared muffin tins.
• (If you aren't baking them for immediate consumption, they may be refrigerated at this point.) Bake until the tops of the cakes are slightly cracked but the centre is still gooey.
• This will take 7 to 8 minutes; count on an extra minute or so if the batter was refrigerated.
• Remove from oven and let them sit for a few minutes-- the cakelets will shrink slightly from the sides and fall a little.
• Place a cake rack over the pan and invert.
• The cakes will fall out.
• Serve them warm, with icing sugar sifted over the surface, a touch of whipped cream on the side if you like, and a couple of fresh raspberries or strawberries.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Microwave chocolate and butter in microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min.; whisk until melted. Separate 3 eggs. Beat whites with mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form; set aside. Stir the 3 yolks, 3 whole eggs and 1-1/2 cups of sugar into chocolate mixture. Gently stir in beaten whites.
• Pour into 10 greased (4-oz.) custard cups on baking sheet.
• Bake 13 min. or until cakes are firm around edges but still soft in centers. Let stand 1 min. Run knife around edges to loosen; invert onto plates. Top with remaining 2 Tbsp. sugar and raspberries.

MOLTEN FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°.
• Place a saucepan of water on high heat. Heat to a boil, then reduce to simmer.
• In a mixing bowl, crack eggs and warm them over simmering water for 1 minute (hold bowl directly over the water, using a dish towel to protect your hands), whisking constantly.
• Remove eggs from heat, and whisk for another minute until eggs are very fluffy.
• Meanwhile, put the chocolate and butter in a large, heatproof, stainless-steel or tempered-glass bowl; set it over the simmering water, making sure the water doesn't touch the bowl.
• Let the chocolate and butter melt; remove from heat.
• Let mixture cool slightly by stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Once slightly cooled, fold the chocolate and butter into the whipped eggs until no more streaks show. (Batter will deflate.).
• Spray 6 (4-ounce) ramekins or ovenproof dessert cups with nonstick cooking spray (or use foil cups, or muffin tins).
• Fill them 3/4 of the way full and place on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, depending on how gooey you'd like the centers.
• Turn the cakes out onto dessert plates, and serve immediately with a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

"MOLTEN" FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Line the cupcake pan with paper liners and spray the liners with vegetable spray.
• Shave 5 ounces of chocolate and put it into a bowl. Cut the remaining 3 ounces of chocolate into roughly 1/2-inch pieces, set aside.
• Combine the butter and cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. When the cream mixture comes to a simmer, pour it over the shaved chocolate and stir gently to melt the chocolate.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, mayonnaise, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt just until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture and gently mix just until combined. (Mixing too much will prevent the eggs from rising in the oven.) Scoop about 1/4 cup of the batter into each mold, it should come about 3/4 of the way up the sides. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Do not over bake. Immediately while hot, add a chunk of the remaining chocolate in the center of each, by gently pushing it through the top of the cupcake in the center. Cool the pan on a rack for 10 minutes and then unmold them. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

• Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) oven for 20-25 minutes. Let cool in pan. When cool sprinkle with confectioners' sugar.

FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Adjust a rack to the middle of the oven. Butter six 4-ounce ramekins.
• Put the chocolate and butter in a metal or glass bowl over barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted. Remove from the heat.
