Molten Chocolate Cakes With Raspberries
|
Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter or unsalted margarine*
8 ounces semisweet chocolate chips, or bars,
(cut into bite-size chunks)
5 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
4 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)
Garnish:
1 (6 ounce) container raspberries,
(barely moistened and rolled in about 1/2 cup sugar right before serving)
Directions
Melt butter and chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl
over a saucepan of simmering water; remove from heat.
Beat eggs, sugar and salt with a hand mixer in a
medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Beat egg mixture
into chocolate until smooth. Beat in flour or matzo
meal until just combined. (Batter can be made a day
ahead; return to room temperature an hour or so before
baking) Before serving dinner, adjust oven rack to
middle position; heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a
standard-size muffin tin (1/2 cup capacity) with 8
extra-large muffin papers (papers should extend above
cups to facilitate removal). Spray muffin papers with
vegetable cooking spray. Divide batter among muffin
cups. Bake until batter puffs but center is not set,
8 to 10 minutes. Carefully lift cakes from tin and set
on a work surface. Pull papers away from cakes and
transfer cakes to dessert plates. Top each with
sugared raspberries and serve immediately.
