Molten Chocolate Cake
These decadent little cakes with their molten chocolate center are easy to make using brownie mix.
INGREDIENTS:
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
15 oz. pkg. fudgy brownie mix
2 Tbsp. coffee liqueur OR hot water OR brewed coffee
PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 12 nonstick muffin cups and set aside. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and butter. Microwave on high power for 45 to 60 seconds, stirring twice during cooking, or until chocolate and butter are melted and mixture is smooth. Cool 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine eggs and egg yolks and beat with a mixer at high speed for 4 to 6 minutes until foamy and doubled in size.
Set aside the chocolate syrup packet from brownie mix. Gradually add dry brownie mix to the beaten egg mixture, stirring until well blended. Fold in melted chocolate chip mixture and liqueur or coffee. Carefully pour batter into prepared muffin cups.
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 14 minutes or just until edges are set. The centers of the little cakes will still be soft. Cool on wire rack for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, drizzle chocolate syrup from packet onto each serving plate. Run knife around edge of each cake to loosen, then invert warm cake over chocolate syrup on each plate. 12 servings
