Chocolate fondant



I was always tempted and fascinated by choco lava cakes which ooze out chocolate from the center. So here I go baking one of those!  So a chocolate fondant/molten chocolate cake/choco lava cake is super easy to make but you only need to be patient enough to have it, because the recipe does ask for you to wait for a few hours before you savor its molten chocolate center. Prep , wait and then savor this with a scoop of vanilla icecream :D

Ingredients:


  • 250 gm dark chocolate
  • 270 gm butter 
  • 8 eggs
  • 180 gms caster sugar
  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 4 tbsp cocoa powder



Method:


  1.  Melt chocolate and butter over a double boiler or your microwave oven and set aside to cool.
  2. In another bowl whisk eggs and sugar until thick and foamy.
  3. Whisk in flour , baking powder , cocoa and melted chocolate and butter mix in. Refrigerate upto 24 hours,
  4. Preheat oven to 200C and grease 4 ramekins ( I used cupcake moulds , due my unavailability of ramekins)  and fill them up with the batter but not fully. 
  5. Bake for 10-12 mins precisely and serve immediately with a scoop of ice cream
