Recipe Summary Molten Chocolate Cakes With Sugar-Coated Raspberries
Dessert is individual molten chocolate cakes. They're simple and elegant, and they bake in under 10 minutes in a standard muffin pan. The best part about these little beauties is that the cake batter is extremely forgiving: You can make it up to six hours before you plan to serve the cakes. Fill the pans with batter and refrigerate, but remember to remove the pan far enough in advance of baking to let the batter return to room temperature. Because they bake for only 8 to 10 minutes, pop these little cakes into the oven as you're clearing the main course dishes and making coffee.Ingredients | Raspberry Cake Recipes Uk1 cup unsalted butter or unsalted margarine*8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, or bars, cut into bite-size chunks5 large eggs½ cup sugarPinch of salt4 teaspoons flour (or matzo meal, ground in a blender to a fine powder)8 extra-large paper muffin cups (or use regular paper muffin cups, which will make 12 cakes)1 (6 ounce) container raspberries, barely moistened and rolled in about½ cup sugar right before servingDirectionsMelt butter and chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water; remove from heat.
