So the resolution for healthy eating is going great! We just finished a very healthy lemony spinach salad with white beans and tuna... So since we've been so good, its time for dessert! (Well at least we tried to be healthy.)
I came across this recipe the other day when I was completely out of any thing for dessert except for a bag of chocolate chips. Although I have been known to just sit down with a bowl of chocolate chips and a spoon, I decided to try to find something to do with them other than cookies (or said spoon). I've had these types of cakes many times before and I always assumed they were difficult to make. Not only are they not difficult, they're ridiculously easy to make, and most of the ingredients you'll have in your pantry. With Valentine's Day on the way, if you're cooking at home, this would make a wonderful and easy ending to a romantic meal.
molten chocolate cakes
1 cup chocolate chips
10 tbs butter
1/2 cup flour
1-1/2 cup powdered sugar
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbs orange liquor or bourbon (optional)
Preheat oven to 425F. Grease 6 oven safe custard cups.
Melt the chocolate and the butter together in the microwave and stir until smooth. In a separate bowl whisk together flour and powdered sugar. In another bowl whisk together the eggs, vanilla and liquor. Add the flour mixture slowly to the chocolate, stirring until somewhat combined (it will be pretty thick). Add the egg mixture and stir until mostly smooth.
Divide batter among the 6 prepared custard cups. Bake in the oven for 14 minutes (they should look slightly set on top).
