Chocolate Melting Cake
Ingredients:
8 ounces of semisweet chocolate
1 cup (2 sticks) of butter
7 eggs, divided use
6 tablespoons of sugar
1/2 cup of flour
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- Melt the chocolate and butter and cool for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix four eggs with sugar.
- Whisk.
- Then add flour and whisk.
- Add the remaining three eggs and add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture.
- Pour this entire mixture into individual ramekins.
- Bake until just done, about 10-15 minutes.
- If you wish to serve this in a larger baking pan, I recommend between 15-35 minutes.
- Check every 5 minutes (Tops should be cooked while the insides are still melting).
- Serve with vanilla ice cream (Recommended, but optional).
Red Velvet Cake & Cream Cheese Frosting
Cake Ingredients:
1 stick butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
2 ounces red velvet coloring (Can be found at a cake shop. I recommend this
much more than normal red food coloring.)
2 Tablespoons cocoa (heaping)
1 cup buttermilk
2 1/4 cups cake flour (Not to be confused with normal white flour.)
1 teaspoon vanilla (I always add a little extra.)
1 teaspoon baking soda
Cake Directions:
- In a larger mixer bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In another bowl, mix red velvet coloring and cocoa until cocoa is completely dissolved. Add to the creamed mixture.
- Mixing on low speed, add buttermilk and flour alternately, beginning and ending with flour. Mix well but do not over-beat to ensure a light fluffy cake.
- Add vanilla flavoring, mix well.
- Blend the baking soda into the batter.
- Transfer into two floured and greased 9 inch round cake pans.
- Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven for 25-30 minutes. Cool.
Frosting Ingredients:
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I don't measure, I always add extra because I
like the vanilla taste.)
Frosting Directions:
- In a medium bowl, cream together the cream cheese and butter until creamy.
- Mix in the vanilla
- Gradually stir in the confectioners' sugar
