Love chocolate? You’ll find a hot, flowing chocolate center that oozes decadence when you fork into these� cakes.
5 ounces semisweet or bittersweet baking chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 eggs
3 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Additional powdered sugar, if desired
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1/4 tsp Watkins Almond Extract
- Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease bottom and side of six 6-ounce custard cups with shortening. In 2-quart saucepan, melt chocolate and butter over low heat, stirring frequently. Cool slightly.
- Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat eggs and egg yolks with wire whisk or hand beater until well blended. Beat in 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar. Beat in melted chocolate mixture and flour. Divide batter evenly among custard cups.
- Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until sides are set and cakes feel soft when touched in center. Run small knife or metal spatula along sides of cakes to loosen. Immediately turn upside down onto individual plates; remove cups. Sprinkle with additional powdered sugar. Mix almond extract into pie filling and spoon pie filling over cakes. Serve warm. Makes 6 servings.
These cakes are meant to have a hot, flowing chocolate center that oozes out when you cut into them. Oven temperature and baking time are critical to the success of the recipe. Be sure to check at the minimum bake time. If the cakes are too soft or do not hold their shape, bake a minute or two longer. If the centers are too cakelike in texture, bake a few minutes less next time.
