Death by Chocolate
“The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.”
Fanny Fern (1811-1872)
Hubby knows I’m especially fond of him when I make him something I myself can’t eat
Oh I know, it looks sorta plain from the outside.
But then you cut into it…
…and the gorging begins.
It’s the best homemade present I could give my hubby for his birthday, which is today by the way.
I know ya’ll want some, and it is soooo ridiculously easy to make, so give it a try.
Molten Lava Cake
6 oz. Semi-sweet or bittersweet baking chocolate
10 Tablespoons unsalted real Butter
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Grease four 6 oz. ramekins and dust with cocoa powder instead of flour.
3. In a double boiler melt the butter and chocolate, whisking every now and again till smooth.
4. Whisk in the powdered sugar and flour. It may get a little clumpy but it doesn’t need to be perfectly smooth before adding the eggs.
5. Add the three whole eggs and the additional 3 egg yolks and whisk until the mixture is smooth.
6. Pour into the ramekins and place each ramekin on your oven rack.
7. Bake for 14 to 15 minutes, or until the cakes are firm around the edges but soft and still somewhat sunken in the center. (Remember to make timing adjustments based on your altitude. You may need to shave off or add a few minutes)
8. Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes. Loosen edges with a knife and level off any overflow
9. Invert each ramekin onto a plate, dust with powdered sugar and garnish if desired. Serve warm.
EDWARD YOUR A HAMSOME GUY ALL IM ASKING IS FOR BELLA TO HAVE THE BABY AND PUT...
Wow! That looks yummy! And fattening. :)
O.M.G.
Yes…this would be the way to my husband’s heart too…Thanks for sharing this!
Oh. My.
You owe me -10 pounds for this.
Oh my gosh, you did NOT. That is gorgeous, missy.
Oh my complete yumminess!! That looks DIVINE!!
These are my favorite dessert, and a little goes a long way. Thanks for the recipe, and boy are you ever sweet to make these for him when you can’t have any yourself. Major brownie points there.
Oh, now that would totally be the way to my heart. I’m seriously craving some major chocolate right now after seeing those pictures… :)
Looks wonderful! I saw something similar recently on Paula Deen’s Party.
YUM!
Oh. My. Goodness. Being that I’m still light-headed from the typhoid bug and my head feels like it will explode every time I cough, I think I could be hallucinating. I am so going to try that when I get better. My husband can’t eat chocolate… too bad for him. Two for me and one for each of my boys. Works for me.
Yummy! So hungry now and in need of chocolate gooey middled pudding *drool*
mine would never ever look that pretty.
Absolutely Beautiful! I’m very impressed. Thanks for posting the recipe, I’m looking forward to trying it.
how appropriate that you posted this today! i have been needing this recipe! yuuuuuum.
I’ve been wanting to make these since Feb for Valentine’s Day, but never felt really inspired to make them.
After looking at your photos, they have definetly inspired me.
They look almost too pretty to eat!! On the other hand, Could you pass me a fork??
I almost forgot to tell you this, but when I saw the title to this post, I had been expecting the continuation of the previous post. When i saw “death by chocolate”. I had lots of confused, funny, and strange thoughts run through my head like, maybe chocolate had done that to you and that’s why you didn’t eat it.
Anyway, just thought I’d tell you that you gave me a laugh.
Oh, what a way to go! Doesn’t get any better than that — looks abso-tively scrumptious! :D
