Melting Chocolate Cakes -YUM!

April 1st, 2011 at 06:57 pm

Last weekend I had posted that DD was going to make these for our dessert. They're pretty easy to make and taste just about like the Chocolate Lava cakes that are served in restaurants.

These really cure your chocolate cravings and they're only 50 calories apiece!

Individual Chocolate Melting Cakes

10oz semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped.
(we used Ghirardelli semisweet chocolate chips)
4Tbls Unsalted Butter
5 Eggs
1/2cup Sugar
3/4cup All-Purpose Flour
1 1/2tsp Baking Powder
1/8tsp salt
caramel sauce
vanilla ice cream

Heat oven to 325F. Lightly coat a 12 cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

Melt the chocolate and butter in a large bowl over a saucepan of boiling water. Remove from heat once melted and smooth.

In another bowl beat the eggs and sugar on med/high speed until light and fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder, salt and melted chocolate. Mix with a spoon until completely blended.

Divide the batter evenly into eight of the muffin cups. (our batch made 10)

Bake until the cakes have just cooked thru, about 14 minutes. The cakes will still look moist in the middle and on top. Let cool 5 minutes. (I found it easiest to "pop" the cakes out of the tin with a spoon) Serve warm with caramel sauce (You can make your own if you want) and ice cream.

They were delicious!


And
they,
unfortunately,
are not 50 calories..

April Fools!!!

But, they REALLY are easy and yummy!

    Darnit! You got me too. This is why April Fool's is my least favorite holiday--I'm the fool every time. Wink
    This reminds me of molten cupcake from the Pillsbury cookbook that is really easily veganizable...mmm...might have to sin a bit this weekend.

    Darn it! I kept reading the recipe thinking, she is way off in the calories. Then I got to the end and had a good chuckle. Way to go!
