Fondant Chocolate Lava Cakelets
- 3 eggs
- 4 egg yolks (I'll save the whites for pavlova)
- 13 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 180 g butter
- 180 g dark chocolate, broken into pieces
- 13 cup flour
- 12 dark chocolate melts (2 per cakelet)
- Grease individual muffin tins.
- We used brown paper casings specially made for this dessert.
- I'm sure you can get them at baking supplies stores.
- Melt the chocolate and the butter together either in the microwave or on top of a double boiler.
- In a mixer bowl place the eggs, egg yolks the sugar and the vanilla essence.
- Beat for 7 minutes on high speed until very light, very creamy and probably doubled in volume.
- Lower the speed of the mixer and slwly add the chocolate/butter melty mixture.
- Mix until the two heady masses have been combined.
- Turn off the mixer.
- Add the flour and mix in slowly with a spatula.
- Try mixing in a Figure 8 pattern, that worked wonderfully in the course.
- Fill the casings until 3/4 full.
- Put two chocolate buttons deep into the middle of the batter.
- Place in the fridge for at least two hours, even longer is better.
- Preheat the oven to 190 degrees centigrade.
- Bake the cakelets for 9 minutes or until a crust has formed on the top, but the center is still fondanty and gooey and chocolately.
- Serve warm with Quick Pear Marmalade (Recipe #340741) either drizzled on top or on the side.
