Best Chocolate Molten Cake With White Chocolate Skull Recipes

ALMOST-FAMOUS MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the cakes: Brush four 1 1/4-cup brioche molds (or use 10-ounce ramekins or jumbo muffin cups) with the 2 tablespoons melted butter. Dust the molds with cocoa powder and tap out the excess.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Bring the milk and 3/4 cup water to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat; set aside.
• Combine the vegetable oil, 4 tablespoons room-temperature butter and the sugar in a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down the bowl and beater as needed. Add 1/2 cup cocoa powder and the vanilla; beat 1 minute on medium speed. Scrape down the bowl. Add 1 egg and beat 1 minute on medium-low speed, then add the remaining egg and beat 1 more minute.
• With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the flour mixture, then the hot milk mixture. Finish mixing the batter with a rubber spatula until combined. Divide the batter evenly among the molds, filling each slightly more than three-quarters of the way.
• Transfer the molds to a baking sheet and bake until the tops of the cakes are domed and the centers are just barely set, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack; let the cakes cool until they pull away from the molds, about 30 minutes.

CHILI'S WHITE CHOCOLATE MOLTEN CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare your cake mix as directed on box. Prepare a bundt cake pan with cooking spray.
• Bake as directed. Let you cake cool just a little -- you want to serve it warm. Now, if you want to be really creative, you can slice your cake so that you can fill it with the white morsels that you will be melting. We haven't worried about being that creative yet.
• So we melt the white morsels in the microwave just enough to warm them, stir them & spread over each cake slice. Scoop your desired amount of ice cream (we like Publix vanilla) & place it on your cake slice. Drizzle with Raspberry sauce & if you like, you can use a vegetable peeler & grate some vanilla bark to sprinkle over the top. Enjoy!
• You can use your judgement on the white morsels, vanilla ice cream, raspberry sauce & vanilla bark to suit your taste.

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously butter 6 cups of a standard muffin tin. Dust with granulated sugar, and tap out excess. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. With the mixer on low speed, beat in flour and salt until just combined. Beat in chocolate until just combined. Divide batter evenly among prepared muffin cups.
• Place muffin tin on a baking sheet; bake just until tops of the cakes no longer jiggle when the pan is lightly shaken, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven; let stand 10 minutes.
• To serve, turn out cakes, and place on serving plates, bottom sides up. Dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve with whipped cream, if desired.

CHOCOLATE MOLTEN CAKE

Steps:

• Gather together 10 to 12 2-inch-high cake rings. Cut strips of parchment paper 1 inch wider than the rings. Brush both sides of parchment strips with clarified butter. Fit inside of cake rings. Coat inside of rings with cocoa powder and set aside on a sheet pan.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt extra-bitter chocolate over double boiler. Whisk softened butter into melted chocolate. Remove chocolate mixture from heat and whisk in egg yolks, 1 at a time. Sift flours together and fold into chocolate mixture.
• Beat egg whites to soft peaks and add confectioners' sugar. Whisk 1/3 of egg mixture into chocolate mixture. Fold in remaining whites in 2 additions.
• Pipe a 1/2-inch layer of cake batter into the bottom of each cocoa-coated cake ring. Freeze until cake batter becomes stiff. Approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Put a 1-inch piece semi-sweet chocolate in each cake ring atop the stiffened cake batter. Pipe in enough cake batter to cover the chocolate piece. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes. Afterwards, allow cake to rest for one minute. Serve with whipped cream and Bay leaf sauce.
• Boil sugar and water. Put in vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise and scraped, and bay leaves into boiling mixture. Allow to infuse for at least on hour, (off of heat) and then, remove bean and leaves. Keep sauce refrigerated.
• Yield: 1 1/2 cups sauce

MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• For the cake: Melt the chocolate and butter together. Cool slightly. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the yolks and eggs then mix in the powdered sugar. Whisk this into the chocolate mixture then whisk in the flour. Fill 12 greased 4-ounce foil tins with the batter and refrigerate until ready to bake, or bake immediately. Bake in a preheated 450 degree F oven for 5 to 6 minutes from cold, or 4 to 5 minutes from room temperature. Turn out of tins immediately onto the plate.
• For the ganache: Heat the cream in a saucepan until boiling. Place the chopped chocolate in a bowl. Whisking well, pour the hot cream over the chocolate to melt it. Cover and chill overnight. The next day, whip it up like whipped cream until soft peaks. Place a dollop of it on the cake before serving.
• For the mint sauce: In the top half of a double boiler, combine the 2 chocolates over simmering water. Stir constantly until melted, then whisk in the syrup, water, and mint extract without removing the double boiler from the heat. Whisk until smooth and shiny. (The sauce can be made up to 48 hours in advance and refrigerated. To rewarm, stir over low heat or heat in a microwave.) Drizzle this over the cake and plate just before serving.

CHOCOLATE MOLTEN CAKE WITH WHITE CHOCOLATE SKULL

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray and sugar six 4-ounce ramekins and place on a sheet tray.
• Combine the chocolate and butter over a double boiler and melt completely. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, vanilla, salt, whole eggs and egg yolks. Whisk until the mixture is pale yellow and thickened. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Add the chocolate mixture and stir gently until combined.
• Divide the mixture among the ramekins. Bake until the edges are set but the centers are still soft when pressed, 12 to 15 minutes.
• For the strawberry sauce: Add the strawberries, pomegranate juice and sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil and stir to dissolve the sugar. Pour into a blender and add the lemon juice. Puree until completely smooth, then pour into a small saucepan and keep warm. Reduce slightly if preferred.
• For the white chocolate skull: Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil into a mixing bowl set over a double boiler. Melt the chocolate completely, then remove from the heat and let stand for 5 minutes, allowing the chocolate to thicken.
• Fill 6 large (4 3/8-by-5 1/4-by-2 1/2-inch) skull chocolate molds (face only) with the white chocolate mixture, then turn to coat completely. Invert briefly if needed to drain out excess chocolate. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, allowing the chocolate to completely harden.
• To serve: Loosen the edges of the cakes with an offset spatula and invert onto serving plates. Place a skull face on top of each, covering the cake.
• Heat the strawberry sauce until gently boiling. Pour over the skulls, melting them over the cakes. Serve.
