CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH MOLTEN CARAMEL CENTER

Steps:

• For the salted caramel: Heat the sugar in a medium dry frying pan over medium heat, without stirring but shaking the pan intermittently to disperse some of the sugar, until fully melted and a dark golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Take the pan immediately off the heat and whisk in the salt and half of the cream; the mixture will bubble up very quickly. Add the other half of the cream once it has stopped bubbling so vigorously. Once all the cream is added and it has stopped bubbling, whisk in the butter. Place the pan over medium-low heat and cook, whisking, until the mixture has thickened slightly, another 2 minutes.
• Pour the hot caramel into an ice cube tray and place in the freezer for 3 hours or overnight. You should be able to make between 8 and 10 caramels roughly 1/2 inch in size, depending on your ice cube tray. The salted caramel cubes can also be kept in the freezer for 2 weeks for later use.
• For the chocolate cake: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C/390 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, beat the egg and sugar with a hand whisk until the mixture appears light and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Put the chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl and place over a double boiler, stirring occasionally, until completely melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the bowl of chocolate from the heat and slowly pour over the egg mixture. Whisk until combined. Sift in the flour and stir the mixture together gently with a spatula until all of the flour is incorporated.
• Using some spare soft butter, grease the inside of 2 chocolate fondant molds (roughly 3 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep). Place the cocoa powder into the bottom of one mold. Rotate the mold, tipping the excess cocoa powder around the edges until the mold is completely coated. Tip the excess cocoa powder into the second mold and repeat the process. Tip out any remaining cocoa powder from the mold once finished.
• Using a tablespoon, fill the molds up two-thirds of the way with the chocolate mixture. Remove 2 caramel cubes from the freezer and push a cube into the center of each cake, making sure the caramel is covered by the chocolate batter.
• Bake until the tops have formed a slight crust and the cakes start to pull away from the sides of the molds, about 11 minutes. Immediately remove the cakes from the oven. Place a serving plate on top of each mold and flip it over, releasing the cakes. Serve immediately with cream or ice cream.

MOLTEN CARAMEL CAKES

Steps:

• Melt the white chocolate with the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the dulce de leche and stir until incorporated. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is pale and has doubled in volume. Gradually add the white chocolate mixture, and then the flour. Take your time to avoid lumps.
• Divide the batter among 6 ramekins. Bake until the cakes are golden brown and the centers are still soft, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt and serve.

SUPER EASY MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F Butter 8 cups of your muffin tin (if you find that the batter doesn't fill all 8, you can just wipe them out later). Make sure there are no globs of butter in the cup though, because it'll make your cake mushy. Spoon some granulated sugar into each cup, swirling to make sure the cup is completely lined.
• 2. Next, cream the butter and granulated sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, incorporating them into the butter after each addition. Beat in flour and salt on low speed until combined. Then add in the molten chocolate, and beat until combined. At this point my batter was really runny, but Martha's on her video was more like cookie/cake batter. They both turn out fine.
• 3. Divide the batter among the muffin tins using a 1/4 cup measure, or until 3/4 full. These will rise some, so make sure you leave extra room.
• 4. Put the tin into the heated oven, and bake until the middle of the cakes no longer jiggle, about 8-12 minutes. Make sure you don't overcook it or you'll end up with chocolate cupcakes! Remove the tin from the oven, and let it sit for 10minutes before turning the cakes out.
• 5. Place them wide side down onto a plate, dust with confectioner's sugar, and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
