Answer 1

Molten Chocolate Cake

Ingredients:
Ganache Filling:

1/3 cup heavy cream
2 1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate, chopped finely

Cake Batter:

2/3 cup butter, softened
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate, melted
2 tablespoons unsweetened chocolate, melted
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup confectioners ’ sugar

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

Bring the cream and the corn syrup to a simmer and pour over the chopped chocolate. Let sit for 5 minutes and mix until smooth. Place in the freezer until just firm enough to scoop, about 20 minutes. Stir the ganache occasionally while it is in the freezer.
While the ganache is cooling, whisk the butter and the two chocolates together and add to the eggs.
Sift the flour and sugar together and fold into the chocolate mixture.
Butter and flour eight 4-fluid-ounce ramekins. Fill the ramekins with 3 tablespoons batter and make a small well in the center by pushing the batter up slightly on the sides. However, the bottom of the ramekin should not be visible.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of the ganache and place it in the center of each ramekin.
Spoon another 2 tablespoons of cake batter on top of the ganache, making sure to seal it between the two layers of batter. The batter should come up to 1/4 inch from the top of the ramekin.
Bake the cakes in a 375°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the top of the cake springs back lightly to the touch.
Loosen the edges of the cakes before unmolding, and place on a small dessert plate.

Answer 3

Brown Sugar Chocolate Cake

This brown sugar cake is made with a chocolate icing.

INGREDIENTS:

10 ounces semisweet chocolate, separated
2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
8 ounces unsalted butter at room temperature
1 pound dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1 cup cold water
1 cup sour cream

PREPARATION:

In the top of a small double boiler over low heat, melt four ounces of the chocolate; set aside to cool.
Sift the flour with the baking soda and half of the salt (1/8 teaspoon) then set aside. In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, cream the butter with the brown sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping the bowl frequently. Beat in the melted chocolate. Mix one teaspoon of the vanilla with the cold water, and add the sifted dry ingredients alternately to the batter with the water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat only long enough to make the batter smooth.
Turn the batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan with a removable bottom. Bake at 350° for one hour. A toothpick stuck into the center of the cake should come out with just a few crumbs clinging to it. Cool the cake on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Cake might fall slightly while cooling. Loosen the edges and invert onto another rack to cool completely.
To make the icing, melt the remaining chocolate in the top of a double boiler over moderate heat. When completely melted, whisk in the remaining salt, remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and the sour cream. Whisk until the icing is smooth and fluffy. Immediately pour the icing over the top of the cooled cake, letting it drip down the sides.

Answer 10

so good and so easy...
it's called dump cake
1 can of cherry pie filling
1 can of yellow cake mix
pads of butter
dump the cherry pie filling in to 9x13 pan then sprinkle the cake mixture on top spread pads of butter all over so when it melts it creates a crust over the top it's so good, you can use any pie filling too, but the cherry is super good. I've gotten lots of raves on this one.
