INDIVIDUAL CHOCOLATE INDULGENCE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In the top of a double boiler, melt the chocolate, then add the butter and sugar until just melted. Add eggs and whisk until well combined; add flour and mix only until combined. Do not overmix or the cake will be rubbery. Lightly grease four 4-ounce disposable aluminum cups, muffin molds, or ramekins with vegetable baking spray. Distribute batter among the four molds. Place molds on a sheet pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake.
• For the Chocolate Sauce: Pour the milk into a 2-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, place over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. When it boils, remove the milk from the heat and make a ganache by adding the chopped chocolate. Whisk well, stirring into the edge of the saucepan to combine. The ganache should be homogenous and smooth. Set the ganache aside.
• In a 1-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the heavy cream, butter, and sugar. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. The butter should be completely melted and the sugar completely dissolved. Once the mixture has come to a boil, pour it into the warm ganache. Place the sauce over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a whisk. As the chocolate sauce cooks, it will begin to thicken slightly. When it reaches a boil, remove it from the heat, and pour it into a clean, dry bowl. Cover by placing plastic wrap directly on top of the sauce to prevent a skin from forming. Let the chocolate sauce cool to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator. When cold, the sauce will become thick enough to be scooped with a spoon.
• Invert molds onto individual serving plates. If you would like to decorate the plate, do so with fresh raspberries or fruit or chocolate sauce, and serve immediately.
• The sauce can be reheated whenever needed. If using a microwave, simply place the chocolate sauce in a microwaveable bowl and heat it at medium-high power in 30-second intervals until it becomes liquid. On the stovetop, place in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat and stir occasionally until it becomes liquid. If you store it in a squeeze bottle, you can easily drizzle it over a dessert or decorate a plate. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. It can also be frozen for up to two months if stored in an airtight container. Thaw in the refrigerator and heat as described above until liquid.

CHOCOLATE INDULGENCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F. Have ready four 1/2-cup ramekins, muffin molds, or disposable aluminum cups. If they are not nonstick, lightly coat them with nonstick baking spray. Arrange the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. In the top half of a double boiler, combine the chocolate, butter, and sugar. Place over (not touching) barely simmering water in the bottom pan and heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until melted, fully blended, and smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Remove from the heat and add the flour, stirring just to combine.
• Divide the batter evenly among the ramekins, and place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12 minutes, or until just set, slightly cracked on top, and gooey in the interior. Do not over-bake, or the cakes will be too firm. Remove from the oven and let stand for about 5 minutes.
• Pool about 2 tablespoons of the warm sauce in the center of each dessert plate. Invert a ramekin over each pool of sauce, tapping it gently with your fingers to unmold the warm cake. Sprinkle each plate with an equal amount of the raspberries and serve immediately.

CHOCOLATE INDULGENCE

Steps:

• Preparation: We start with the mousse: Whip the cream for a solid cream. Melt the chocolate on a microwave and fold the chocolate to the whipped cream. Let it cool in the fridge and continue with the muffins. To the Muffins: Sift together flour, cocoa, salt and baking powder. Add the sugar and mix together. Create an hole in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour in the eggs, oil and milk (or water). Mix just untill well blended. Fill a muffin pan with the mixture- just 2/3 of the way. Heat oven to 180C and bake for 15-20 minutes or untill a toothpick iserted to the middle of the muffin comes out with a moist crumbs. Let the muffins cool and then take off their mushroom heads. Put the "heads" in a bowl and crumble it. Mix the crumbled "heads" with the mousse. Now comes the dirty part: shape with the mousse a Crembo like hill using your hands and place it on each bottom of a muffin. Continue with all 16 muffins. After done, let the Crembos rest in the fridge for an hour. Melt the chocolate and add about 2-3 spoons of canola oil. Coat each Crembo with the melted chocolate using a spoon. Good Luck :) Couple of notes: * I used baking soda instead of Baking powder because i didn't have any at the time - You can make this switch only if you use a cocoa powder that has a great amount of acidity so that the baking soda can neutrilize it's acidity. **The baking time of the muffins in my oven took beyond 20 minutes.
