Still trying to find an incredible dessert for Valentine's Day? Quit
looking. A tasty molten chocolate cake with a gooey centre, for two and
topped with salted caramel sauce, whipped cream, ice cream, hot fudge
sauce and fresh strawberries. Is there a better solution to say I adore
you?
That list of toppings may make this dessert seem like lots of work, but I swear that it is foolproof, simple and quite striking --making the cake batter itself just takes about eight minutes. I do not even trouble modeling it to keep things simple: I only serve it right in the ramekin.
Everything begins with six fundamental ingredients: semisweet chocolate, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, an egg, all purpose flour plus a bit of salt.
Make sure the underside of the bowl does not touch.
You can also melt chocolate and the butter in the microwave, but since I do not have one I consistently take the double boiler course.
Just whisk in the powdered sugar once the butter and chocolate are melted. If the concoction still seems a little lumpy it is ok.
Now for the hard part: adding the egg. You do not need to add the entire egg.
Separate the egg, putting the yolk in a different bowl and letting the egg white to drip into a little bowl. Lose the alone half egg white and add the yolk-and-egg white combo to the chocolate mixture. Whisk until the mixture appears smooth.
Seriously guys, this is actually the most difficult part of the recipe...
Then pour it into a clean (ungreased!) Utilize a ramekin that is large enough to carry at least 1/2 cup (4 oz) of liquid.
Collect your favorite toppings while the cake is in the oven. Because making a tasty salted caramel sauce just takes about ten minutes, I made the decision to purchase the ice cream and make the sauces myself and it keeps forever in the refrigerator! The same goes for home made hot fudge sauce and of course.
Just a couple of minutes more and opportunities are the cake cakey and will fudgy, not molten in the center.
The molten chocolate cake itself is intensely chocolatey rich and sweet.
And in case you choose to forgo the spoons and take this hot matter into the bedroom, I will not judge.
