MOLTEN RED WINE CHOCOLATE CAKE
Serving: 6 cup cakes
Difficulty Level: Easy
Time Required: 45 mins
Ingredients
- 4 cups Bittersweet Chocolate
- 5 tbsp Butter
- 1 cup Red Wine
- 2 Eggs
- 1 Egg Yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 6 tbsp Confectioners’ Sugar
- 5 tbsp Flour
- 1 tbsp Cocoa powder
- Salt
- 6 Muffin tins
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat oven to 175°C. Coat 6 cups of a muffin tin with cooking spray.
Step 2
Place 3 cups chocolate and 4 tablespoons butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving, if needed, stirring every 15 seconds, until completely melted. Let cool slightly. Whisk in 1 tablespoon wine, eggs, egg yolk, vanilla and salt. Sift confectioners’ sugar, flour and cocoa over the batter and whisk until smooth. Divide the batter evenly among the 6 prepared muffin cups, using about ¼ cup each.
Step 3
Bake the cakes until the edges look dry and puffed but the centers still look soft and gooey, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack until firm, about 2 minutes. Place a cutting board on top of the pan and invert the cakes out onto it. If they stick, run a knife around and under them to loosen.
Step 4
Meanwhile, heat the remaining 1/2 to 1 cup chocolate and 1 tbsp butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving, if needed, stirring every 15 seconds, until completely melted. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon wine. Using a thin spatula, transfer the cakes to serving plates. Drizzle the cakes with the chocolate sauce, about 1 tsp each. Serve warm!
