Re: Chocolate Lava Cake
This is Gordon Ramsays Recipe and i have made it 3 times and it went really wrong the first time but really well the other 2.
ANyway this recipe makes 2 Fondants.
Ingredients:
-50g unsalted butter, plus extra to grease
-2 tsp cocoa powder, to dust
-50g good quality bitter chocolate (minimum 70% cocoa solids), in pieces ( i used 50% solids as i dont like it tooooo bitter, dont use milk chocolate though!
-1 free range egg
-1 free range egg yolk
-60g caster sugar
-50g plain flour
-Icing sugar to dust
-Vanilla ice cream to serve ( or any other yummy sauce or custard!)
1) pre-heat oven to 160degres celcius
2)Dust 2 large pudding containers (7.5cm diameter)
3)Slowly melt the chocolate and butter in a small bowl over a pan of hot water ( not boiling) then take off the heat and stir until smooth,cool for 10 mins
4)Using an electric whisk, whisk the whole egg, egg yolk and sugar together until pale and thick, then fold in the chocolate mixture. Sift the flour over the mixture and gently fold in
5) put into containers and cook for 12 mins
Tip onto a plate and decorate with fruit, icing sugar, ice-cream whatever you like really!
