I always buy 8 of everything so the quantities match. Here is the molten chocolate cake recipe, pretty easy. However, I may prefer the one from Cook's Illustrated a bit better. They call theirs molten lava cake. On either, just don't overcook, or you will not get the molten center! Enjoy!<br /><br /><br />Molten Chocolate Cakes<br /><br />Prepare and serve in the stoneware Mini Cocottes<br /><br />Makes 4 servings<br /><br />Ingredients:<br /><br />7 ounces bittersweet chocolate<br />6 ounces (1 1/2 sticks) butter<br />4 large egg yolks<br />4 large whole eggs<br />1/2 cup sugar<br />2/3 cup unbleached flour<br />Zest of 1 orange<br /><br />Directions:<br /><br />Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter and flour 4 mini cocottes, tapping out any excess flour.<br /><br />In the top of a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter together. Stir until well-blended, then let cool to warm room temperature.<br /><br />In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and whole eggs together, then beat in the sugar one tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until the eggs have tripled in volume, and are a pale yellow color. This may take upwards of 15 minutes, or 4 minutes with an electric whisk.<br /><br />Fold the beaten eggs into the chocolate and gently blend the two.<br /><br />Sprinkle the flour into the cooled chocolate mixture, little by little, and continue mixing until well blended.<br /><br />Add the orange zest. Save a few strands for decoration.<br /><br />Divide the batter into the four prepared cocottes and place, uncovered, into the oven on a baking sheet. <br /><br />Bake for 12 - 15 minutes. When done, the batter will have puffed up. Move the baking sheet slightly. The middles of the cakes shouldn't jiggle, but they should still be soft.<br /><br />Dust the tops with powdered cocoa and garnish with reserved orange zest. Serve immediately.BillsSundaySuppershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749948729216064766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370913918884893175.post-64346280681483921252014-03-17T06:35:52.930-07:002014-03-17T06:35:52.930-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Six Decadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404579287670107643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370913918884893175.post-22674361866205141602014-03-17T06:34:07.212-07:002014-03-17T06:34:07.212-07:00Did you really purchase 8 mini cocottes??

I've only used King Arthur Flour mix which is satisfactory, but the urge for lava cake often strikes when there's no mix in the pantry!<br />Casey LSix Decadeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404579287670107643noreply@blogger.com
