Fabulous Molten Chocolate Cakes

I don't know what it is, but why do I always crave something sweet on Sundays? Do you feel the same way? But we go to church every Sunday morning, then come home at around 2:30 pm, eat late lunch, then we are full until like 8 at night! So we thought we'd eat something light or make a delicious dessert! I picked the latter. It was amazing! Warning: Make sure you have ice cream or milk at home. I was bummed that I didn't have any ice cream.


But I did have some milk and mmmm..... Milk and Molten chocolate cake, they go great together.


Sprinkle a little bit of powder sugar on top, if you want. Pretty, aren't they?

Molten Chocolate Cakes

Ingredients:
Baking cocoa
6 oz semisweet baking chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 whole eggs
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Additional powdered sugar, if desired

Direction:

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Grease bottoms and sides of 6-ounce custard cups with shortening (I "pam"ed it), dust with cocoa.

In 2 quart saucepan, melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently. Cool slightly.

In large bowl, beat whole eggs and egg yolks with wire whisk or hand beater until well blended. Beat in 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar. Beat in melted chocolate mixture and flour. Divide batter evenly among custard cups. Place cups on cookie sheet with sides.

Bake 12 to 14 minutes or until sides are set and centers are still soft. (tops will be puffed and cracked). Let stand 3 minutes. Run small knife along sides of cakes to loosen. Immediately place heatproof serving plate upside down onto each cup; turn plate and cup over and remove cup. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar. Serve warm.

NOTE: Don't forget to grease the custard cups thoroughly. If the centers are too cakelike in texture, bake a few minutes less the next time. If they're too soft, bake a minute or two longer. Also note that silicone cookware is the best to bake this in so that it comes out easily and molten chocolate doesn't squish out.
