Warm Chocolate Passion Cake

Nothing says "I love you," like chocolate. With Valentine's Day in less than 2 days away, I've been getting lots emails from friends on romantic desserts ideas. This one's for you girls!




9 tbsp. unsalted butter
6 tsp. cake flour
4 oz. bittersweet chocolate
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/4 cup finely granulated sugar
1 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa



Preheat oven to 450°. Spray four 3-oz. ramekins with non-stick spray. Dust each mold with 1 tsp. of flour and then place on a half baking sheet.

Put chocolate and the remaining 8 tbsp. butter into the top of a double boiler set over a pan of simmering water over medium-low heat and heat until almost completely melted, about 7 minutes.

Next, beat eggs, egg yolks, and sugar together in a mixing bowl until thick and pale yellow (3 minutes)

Whisk chocolate and butter together, then add to egg mixture, stirring until just combined. Whisk in the remaining flour.

Divide batter between prepared molds and bake for 5–7 minutes (center of cakes will be tender).

Invert cakes onto 4 individual dessert plates and let rest, undisturbed, for about 10 seconds. Lift up an edge of each mold to let cake fall out onto plate. Dust cakes with cocoa and serve immediately, with a small scoop of vanilla, mint and/ore fresh berries.
