The kids and I finally made our traditional Valentine's dessert, made tradtitional by the fact that it fits nicely into the little ramikins we bought at Target for $1 a few years ago. Plus it's chocolate, and it's fairly easy to make. A year or two ago I left out the flour by accident, and it was very fudgy and yummy, but if you make the recipie properly it's cakey and yummy with this liquid chocolate inside. My small bakers in training enjoyed it immensely.
Molten Chocolate Cakes
Preheat oven to 450. Butter four 3/4 c. custard cups (or six smaller ramikens). Place on baking sheet.
4 squares of semi-sweet baking chocolate
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter
1 c. powdered sugar
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
6 T. flour
Heat chocolate and butter in microwave until butter is melted. Stir with whisk until chocolate is melted. Stir in sugar until well blended; blend in eggs and yolks with whisk. Stir in flour. Divide batter between custard cups.
Bake 13-14 minutes until sides are firm but centers are soft. Let stand one minute. If you're not serving in the cute Valentine ramikens, run a knife along the edge to loosen, then invert onto dessert plates. Serve immediately.
