Recipe: Hot Chocolate Cake

Our Hot Chocolate Cake is one of the more popular desserts that we serve at the club. As the name implies, it is served hot, with a brownie-like exterior and an oozing, melted chocolate interior.

Ingredients

8 oz.

butter

  1/2 C flour
10 oz. chocolate chips 1/4 C + 1 T sugar
2 eggs 6 egg yolks

Directions

Preheat oven to 425. Place the butter and chocolate chips in a metal mixing bowl over a sauce pan of simmering water. Melt the chocolate and butter together, stirring frequently. Sift the flour and sugar together. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the whole eggs and egg yolks. Add the flour/sugar mixture and stir till well mixed. Butter the sides and bottoms of a large muffin pan well; coat with sugar. Pour in the hot chocolate mixture. Refrigerate for one hour, then bake for 15 minutes. After they come out of the oven, let them sit for about 10 minutes, then invert the pan on a counter to remove the cakes. Serves 5-6.
