This is taken from Nigella Lawson's recipe for Chocohotopots. (I made a few changes). They are delicious and quick to whip up. My picky kids can't wait for these to come out of the oven. Definitely a keeper!
Total Time: 10 minutes to make, 20-25 minutes to cook
Yield: 4 cakes
Source: Nigella Lawson's Chocohotopots
Ingredients:
- 1 stick of butter (8 tablespoons)
- 4 oz semisweet chocolate, chopped (I just use half a cup of chocolate chips)
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3 Tbsp flour
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp of instant coffee dissolved in 1 teaspoon of hot water
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Butter 4 ramekins with an extra tablespoon of butter.
- Melt chocolate and butter. Cool a little (a few minutes).
- In separate bowl, combine eggs, sugar, flour, vanilla, salt, and dissolved coffee.
- Add chocolate mixture to the bowl. Stir til combined. Pour into ramekins.
- The original recipe says to bake for 20 minutes. But, it's a little too gooey and under-cooked to serve to my kids. I bake them for 25-28 minutes, til there's no jiggle and the cakes are more set.
- When the cakes come out, you can add some chocolate to the middle or if you like to live dangerously, a spoonful of Nutella. Ice cream is really good on it, too.
- Let cakes cool for about 10 minutes, so no one gets burned. Enjoy!
