Molten Chocolate Cake exquisite molten chocolate cake with its rich, saucy center is one of the most spectacular desserts you’ll ever taste and certainly not something you would expect to cook in a Big Green Egg. Fortunately, it is also one of the easiest to prepare. Serve it hot before the liquid center congeals.
Ingredients
Granulated sugar for dusting (about 1 cup)
1 cup unsalted butter
¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons bittersweet chocolate chips
4 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
Equipment:
Plate setter, 10 (8 ounce) glass or metal baking cups
Directions
Set the EGG for indirect cooking with the Big Green Egg’s Plate Setter, legs down
Preheat the EGG to 450
Spray the baking cups with cooking spray and dust the entire inside with the granulated sugar. Set aside. Place the butter and chocolate in a saucepan on the stove top over low heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate melts. Set aside and let cool for 10 minutes.
Place the eggs and egg yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer. Using the whisk attachment beat on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes, until light and ribbony. Add the vanilla and confectioners ‘sugar and beat for 1 minute more. Slowly add the melted chocolate and beat for 1 minute, then add the flour and beat for 1 more minute or until just incorporated. Fill each baking cup three-quarters full. Refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes and up to 24 hours.
Place the cups on the Big Green Egg’s Plate Setter and close the lid of the Big Green Egg. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until slightly firm to the touch. The cakes should be firm but not cooked all the way through. Immediately turn out onto plates and serve with whipped cream.
