Carnival's Melting Chocolate Cake Recipe
Enjoy the famous Carnival Cruise dessert at home. It takes less than 15 minutes and comes out tasting just like the real thing.
Ingredients
- 6 oz dark chocolate
- 6 oz unsalted butter 3/4 cup or 12 tablespoons
- 4 eggs
- 3 oz sugar roughly 1/3 a cup
- 2 oz flour a little less than 1/3 a cup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 390 degrees.
- Melt the chocolate and the butter. You can either do this in a small saucepan or in the microwave. If using the microwave, reduce power to 50% and check every 30 or so seconds.
- In a separate bowl, mix eggs and sugar and whisk for a few minutes. You want to have it nice and light with lots of air on it.
- Add the flour to the egg and sugar mixture and gently stir
- Add the egg mix to the melted chocolate mix and stir gently to incorporate (don't over-mix, you don't want to knock the air out of it).
- Pour the mix into the 4 greased molds, dishes or ramekins
- Bake for 14 minutes. Try not to open the oven while baking.
Notes
For best results, use eggs at room temperature. Also, make sure your chocolate mixture is warm enough to stir easily.
If you have a problem with the bottom of your cake getting too cooked (and not "melting"), try putting the ramekins in a pan that has water on the bottom. This will help accommodate for oven's with uneven temperatures.
