Mortons Legendary Hot Chocolate Cake Recipes

MORTON'S LEGENDARY HOT CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Generously butter the six 6-inch souffle cups and sprinkle each with granulated sugar.
• Tap out the excess sugar.
• In the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, melt the butter and chocolate together.
• Remove the top of the double boiler pan from the heat.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and set on low speed, beat the egg yolks and eggs for about 2 minutes, or until light and smooth.
• With the mixer running, pour the melted chocolate into the bowl and mix for about 2 minutes longer.
• Put the confectioner's sugar and flour in a fine-mesh sieve and sprinkle it into the chocolate mixture.
• With the mixer on medium speed, beat for 30 seconds, or until well mixed.
• Pour the batter into the prepared souffle cups, leaving about 1/4 inch of space below the rim.
• Set the souffle cups on a baking sheet and back for 18 to 20 minutes, or until puffed and about 1 inch higher than the rim.
• The centers will be soft but not sticky.
• Remove the cakes from the oven and immediately invert each onto a serving plate.
• Remove the cup and garnish each plate with three raspberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
