Molten Chocolate Cakes With Mint Fudge Sauce Recipes

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE HACK

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.

Whisk eggs and egg yolks in large bowl to blend. Whisk in sugar, then chocolate mixture and flour. Pour batter into dishes, dividing equally. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.)

EASY CHOCOLATE MOLTEN CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Butter 6 dariole moulds or basins well and place on a baking tray.
• Put 100g butter and 100g chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set over a pan of hot water (or alternatively put in the microwave and melt in 30 second bursts on a low setting) and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly for 15 mins.
• Using an electric hand whisk, mix in 150g light brown soft sugar, then 3 large eggs, one at a time, followed by ½ tsp vanilla extract and finally 50g plain flour. Divide the mixture among the darioles or basins.
• You can now either put the mixture in the fridge, or freezer until you're ready to bake them. Can be cooked straight from frozen for 16 mins, or bake now for 10-12 mins until the tops are firm to the touch but the middles still feel squidgy.
• Carefully run a knife around the edge of each pudding, then turn out onto serving plates and serve with single cream.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE

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.
