Molten Chocolate Cake

By Heather

Molten Chocolate Cake Recipe - GirlGoneMom.com

The grande finale of our cooking class and meal at The Essex Resort and Spa after the caesar salad, the pasta made from scratch and the tomato basil sauce was this amazing molten chocolate cake. The presentation alone received oohs and ahhs, especially the cakes that oozed chocolatey goodness, but to taste this delicious dessert is to love it.

Previously, I’d made something very similar to this: Molten chocolate cake. It is also very good, but this version is much lighter, thanks, I think, to the confectioner’s sugar. I can’t wait to make this at home.

Chef Brandy used disposable tin ramekins, which is pure genius because they’re bendy and will release the cakes much easier than a standard stoneware ramekin. Plus, no cleanup!

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter room temperature
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 ounces semisweet chocolate or bittersweet, chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1½ cups confectioners sugar
