Recipes Molten Chocolate Lava Cake. Okay so you know how I said Chocolate Souffl was my favorite dessert ever, you know, if I were asked at gun point and made to tellBut unlike the souffl, which as you can see in the video stands up and says, Look at me Im a souffl Jean Georgess cake is more subdued, a bit reticent at first glance. Until, that is, you take that first forkful. Thats when the seduction begins and this demure little dessert with a sweet and tender brownie like crust comes alive with a rich, chocolately, molten center. I started making these years ago, when Jean Georges and Mark published Jean Georges Cooking at Home with a Four Star Chef, and all I can say is that even when the lamb has been a bit rare or the chicken a tad overcooked, if I serve this dessert, no one remembers dinner. All they remember are these outwardly humble, internally voluptuous, utterly delicious chocolate cakes. Ive made one little adjustment to the recipe I use cocoa powder instead of flour after buttering the mold. It doesnt affect the flavor significantly, but Ive found it does help with the presentation no white residue is left on the cakes after you unmold them. Ive also cut the recipe in half with absolutely no problem. Why you wouldnt want leftovers is beyond me these are great the next day but if you want to make this just for two, you can. So Its Valentines Day. Focus on what really matters dessert. Print Recipe. Ingredients. Valrhona. 2 eggs. Method. 1. In the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, heat the butter and chocolate together until the chocolate is almost completely melted. While thats heating, beat together the eggs, yolks, and sugar with a whisk or electric beater until light and thick. Beat together the melted chocolate and butter it should be quite warm. Pour in the egg mixture, then quickly beat in the flour, just until combined. Butter and lightly flour four 4 ounce molds, custard cups, or ramekins. Tap out the excess flour, then butter and flour them again. Divide the batter among the molds. At this point you can refrigerate the desserts until you are ready to eat, for up to several hours bring them back to room temperature before baking. Preheat the oven to 4. Bake the molds on a tray for 6 to 7 minutes the center will still be quite soft, but the sides will be set. Invert each mold onto a plate and let sit for about 1. Unmold by lifting up one corner of the mold the cake will fall out onto the plate. Serve immediately.
