Chocolate Cake with Ice Cream Sauce Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 15 min.

Yield: 2 Servings

20 15 35

Ingredients

1 teaspoon plus 1/4 cup butter, divided
2 teaspoons baking cocoa
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
TOPPING:
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream, softened
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Butter bottoms and sides of two 4-in. fluted tube pans or 6-oz. ramekins with 1 teaspoon butter. Dust with baking cocoa; set aside. In a microwave, melt bittersweet chocolate and remaining butter; stir until smooth. Set aside.
In a small bowl, beat egg and yolk on medium speed until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, beating until thick and lemon-colored, about 3 minutes. Beat in chocolate mixture. Combine flour and salt; beat into egg mixture just until combined.
Spoon batter into prepared pans. Bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
For topping, in a small bowl, combine ice cream and cinnamon. Serve with warm cake. Yield: 2 servings.
