Chocolatey Goodness


Kevin and I LOVE trying out new chocolate molten cake recipes. One of our all-time favorite molten cake mixes is from Williams Sonoma.


The newest one we tried out tonight is from the Eagle Brand people. It is also delicious- it has 3 different types of chocolate in it (Eagle Brand Triple Chocolate Treasures). Mmm!

Lastly, whenever we're craving molten cakes and don't want to have to run to the store, we can always make these ones. Elise and my mom got this recipe from a great chocolate cooking class they went to at Sur La Table. The good/bad thing about them is that we ALWAYS have these basic ingredient in stock. Enjoy!

Molten Cakes

Ingredients:
5 ounces semi sweet chocolate
1/4 cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
5 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Pinch of salt
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 cup whipped cream

Stir chocolate and butter over low heat til smooth. Remove from heat and cool 10 minutes stirring occasionally.

Mix eggs, yolks, sugar, vanilla, salt in medium bowl about six minutes, thick ribbon should fall when beaters are lifted.

Fold in flour, fold in chocolate mixture. Grease ramikins. Put in ramikins and let stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400. Bake about 15 minutes until tops are puffed and dry. Cool cakes 5 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
