Molten Chocolate Cakes....Enough!! Time For Some Chocolate
To make 6 individual molten chocolate cakes you will need.
- Cocoa powder.
- 168 gms of cooking chocolate 52% cocoa content, chopped or cut in squares.
- ½ cup plus 2 Tbsp. of butter or Neo Vitam (in Greece).
- 3 large whole eggs.
- 3 egg yolks ( use the egg whites for something else ).
- 1½ cups powdered sugar.
- ½ cup of all-purpose flour. Do not use self rising flour.
Method:
- Heat oven to 230 degrees C or 450 degrees F.
- Butter very well bases and sides of 6 custard cups (as per my photo) and coat with cocoa powder.
- Melt butter on mild heat, add the chocolate and stir with your chocolate wooden spoon (which you use for nothing else) till the chocolate melts. Turn off heat and let cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the whole eggs and the yolks till they are frothy.
- Continue beating and add the powdered sugar till well mixed.
- Beat in chocolate mixture and flour alternatively till they are both finished.
- Fill cups evenly and place on a cookie sheet.
- Take them out of the oven.
- Using an oven glove, and a knife hold the cup in one hand and with the knife loosen the edges.
Note: They are eaten warm.
- You can fill the cups and keep them at room temperature till you finish your meal, have the oven going then put them for the required time.
- You can also fill and refrigerate them up to 24 hours and then chuck them into the oven in which case they may take a minute or two longer.
