Enjoy these delicious molten cakes with a deep, rich chocolate center.

Estimated Times:
Preparation - 20 min | Cooking - 12 min | Yields - 6 servings



Ingredients:

Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 425° F. Generously butter six 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups with two tablespoons butter.

STIR 3/4 cup butter and chocolate in medium, heavy-duty saucepan over low heat until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from heat. Beat eggs, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until thick and pale yellow, about 8 minutes. Fold 1/3 of chocolate mixture into egg mixture. Fold in remaining chocolate mixture and flour until well blended. Divide batter evenly among prepared ramekins. Place on baking sheet.

BAKE for 12 to 13 minutes or until sides are set and 1-inch centers move slightly when shaken. Remove from oven to wire rack.

TO SERVE, run a thin knife around top edge of cakes to loosen slightly; carefully invert onto serving plates. Lift ramekins off of cakes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve immediately.

Comments: Probably my fault or my oven's fault but we were really looking forward to having the molten middle come out when we cut into it but it was baked all the way through. I followed the recipe exactly. The taste was excellent and I will try it again soon to see if it was the oven's fault.

Comments: I have a recipe simular to this. Can put in fridge 2hr before baking. When bake, add a minute or two to baking time. Also, can "reheat" in microwave, still takes GOOD!

Comments: I must have done something wrong! I followed the recipe to a 'T' but there was no molten middle and the cake part had an odd consistency... Maybe I should give it another go based on other reviews but so far, two thumbs down :(
Soooo Good!!!!!

Comments: This is a fantastic recipe! I needed to make a chocolate birthday cake for my husband in a hurry and this recipe was so easy and delicious! Since there were only the two of us, I halved the recipe using two eggs and one egg yolk. I poured the batter into 4 small custard cups and baked them for 12 minutes and almost burnt them. I would only bake them 10 or 11 minutes if I used the smaller custard cups again. We ate the two leftover ones the next day cold and they were delicious that way too!
is it ready to eat
