I wanted to make a chocolate lava cake the other day, but we don't have little soufflé moulds, so I just made one cake, in our smallest pyrex bowl. It was really delicious, and got a full-star Ed-rating. As pictured below.
Luckily, I saved the cake from Ed before he actually took a bite out. I highly recommend making this.
- Chocolate lava cake
- The recipe is from here, the NYT molten chocolate magic. I cut it in half.
- 1/4C butter (half a stick)
- 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 1 egg
- 1 egg yolk
- 2Tbs sugar
- 1tsp flour
Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler. As it melts, beat together the egg and egg yolk and sugar. Let the chocolate cool just enough so it won't cook the eggs, and then mix it in. Beat in the flour, until just combined.
Butter the mold, and dust it with cocoa powder. Pour in the batter. Cook at 450 for 8 minutes, until it is just set.
Invert the mold, dump the cake on a plate, and dust with powdered sugar. Feel free to garnish with raspberries and whipped cream =)
