Spiced Chocolate Molten Cakes Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 2 Servings

20 10 30

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1-1/2 teaspoons dry red wine
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2 teaspoons egg yolk
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Additional confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a microwave, melt butter and chocolate; stir until smooth. Stir in wine and vanilla.
In a small bowl, beat the egg, egg yolk and confectioners' sugar until thick and lemon-colored. Beat in the flour, ginger and cinnamon until well blended. Gradually beat in butter mixture.
Transfer to two greased 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups. Place ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake at 425° for 10-12 minutes or until a thermometer inserted near the center reads 160° and sides of cakes are set.
Remove from the oven and let stand for 1 minute. Run a knife around edges of ramekins; invert onto dessert plates. Dust with additional confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately. Yield: 2 servings.
