Individual Molten Chocolate Lava Cakes with Berries





Ingredients


Chocolate Cakes:


1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted softened butter, plus extra for buttering molds


8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped


1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder


4 large eggs


4 large egg yolks


2/3 cup granulated sugar


4 teaspoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting molds


3 tablespoons Frangelico or hazelnut liqueur


1 cup fresh raspberries


1 cup fresh strawberries


Fresh mint, for garnish


Directions


Butter and lightly flour 6 (6-ounce) ramekins. Tap out any excess flour.





In a small saucepan, bring to a boil 2 inches of water. In a large glass bowl, add butter, chocolate and espresso powder. Lower heat and place bowl over the simmering water. Slowly whisk mixture until the chocolate is almost completely melted. Remove bowl from heat and continue to whisk until all chocolate has melted. Allow to cool slightly.





In a large bowl, add eggs, yolks, and sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat until light and fluffy and pale in color. Reduce speed to medium-low and slowly pour in the chocolate mixture. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Do not overwork the batter.








Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.





Divide the batter between the molds. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place chocolate molds onto baking sheet and place in oven for 7 minutes. If not baking immediately, cover chocolate molds with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 8 hours. When ready to bake, place refrigerated chocolate molds onto baking sheet and place in oven for 10 minutes. The top and sides should be cooked and dry and the inside will be runny.





Using oven mitts, carefully invert each mold onto a plate and let it sit for 10 seconds. Then lift 1 corner of the ramekin and the cake should slip out. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon Frangelico over each cake. Spoon berries around the chocolate cake and garnish with mint. Serve warm.



Hi corinthians, without going right into it, I guess you know how to bake a cake, regardless of the type. But as I have been doing of late I add liqueur a dash of Galiano or if your doing a chocolate cake a drop or three of Tia Maria, for a Madeira cake a touch of Grand Mariner. There are so many cake recipes out there to choose from, more about choice. What I have been noticing, that some of my guests pick out the fruit if there is fruit in a cake, there is a thought to keep in mind, so I go with simple but enhance the flavor.





Chris

Any good frosting recipes that don't require powdered sugar?

Does anyone know of any that you can make with just regular sugar?Any good frosting recipes that don't require powdered sugar?
She said that does not use powdered sugar !





Yummy Fudge Frosting


1 can sweetened condensed milk


12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips





Cook in the top of a double boiler over boiling water until melted and smooth























Semisweet Chocolate Ganache





1 cup Heavy cream


2 tablespoons Unsalted butter


2 tablespoons Granulated sugar


12 ounces Semisweet chocolate -- broken


1/2 pieces





Heat the heavy cream, butter, and sugar in a 2 1/2 quart saucepan over medium-high heat. When hot, stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil. Place the chocolate in a stainless steel bowl. Pour the boiling cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Allow to cool to room temperature.























Swirl Frosting


1/2 cup granulated sugar


2 egg whites


2 tablespoons water


1 (7 ounce) jar Marshmallow Cr猫me

Any good frosting recipes that don't require powdered sugar?
You can use regular granulated sugar in a syrup to sweeten frosting instead of confectioner's sugar. Here's such a recipe:





1/2 cup sugar


1/2 cup dark corn syrup


4 eggs, room temperature


10 ounces butter, cubed and at room temperature





Bring the sugar and corn syrup to a boil in a small saucepan.





Using a mixer, whip the eggs until light and fluffy. With the mixer speed turned to low, slowly drizzle in the sugar syrup.





After all of the syrup has been added, turn the mixer speed up and begin incorporating the butter one piece at a time. Do not add the next piece until you can no longer see any remains of the last piece. Continue until all of the butter is incorporated and the frosting is nice and creamy.








If you don't like the idea of using raw eggs in a frosting, I'm sure you can take that same idea of making a syrup and then adding that straight to creamed butter. I'd take a recipe for a simple butter and confectioner's sugar buttercream, heat the liquid along with an equivalent WEIGHT of granulated sugar until it's dissolved, let it cool, and then whip it into the butter.
The only one I know of without powdered sugar is a chocolate ganache.





1/2 cup of heavy cream, warmed in microwave or on stovetop


Add 1-1/4 cup grated or chopped milk chocolate. Don't use chocolate chips as they contain stabilizers that will make a very stiff frosting.





Stir until combined and chocolate is melted. Chill for about 20 to 30 minutes, until slightly firm.





Mix with a mixer at medium speed. Chill for 20 or 30 minutes more. Will frost a 8 x 8 pan of bars or a small cake.






Chocolate ganache can easily be turned into frosting:





INGREDIENTS


9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped (I just use semisweet chocolate chips)


1 cup heavy cream


1 tablespoon dark rum (optional - you can use other flavorings as well)





DIRECTIONS


Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil, watching very carefully because if it boils for a few seconds, it will boil out of the pot. When the cream has come to a boil, pour over the chopped chocolate, and whisk until smooth. Stir in the rum if desired.


Allow the ganache to cool slightly before pouring over a cake. Start at the center of the cake and work outward. For a fluffy frosting or chocolate filling, allow it to cool until thick, then whip with a whisk until light and fluffy.
Whip Cream Frosting





1 c Water


2 tb Flour


1/2 c Margarine


1/2 c Crisco


1 c Sugar


1 ts Vanilla extract


My Personal fav.





Instructions:


Cook water and flour until thick and creamy. Cool this mixture. Cream


together margarine, crisco, and sugar. When water and flour mixture is


cool, add to margarine, crisco, and sugar. Beat for 15 minutes. Add


vanilla for chocolate cake. Add almond extract for white cake.

Simple and easy!


And tasty too 鈾?br>




Hope that helps! 鈾?br>




- Happy cooking!
Better Cream Whipped Cake Icing





录 cup cold water


1 tsp unflavored gelatin


1 cup heavy whipping cream


1 Tbsp. white sugar


陆 tsp vanilla extract





Chill mixing bowl and beaters for at least 15 minutes before using. Place water in a small microwave-safe bowl. Sprinkle gelatin over water and allow to soften 5 minutes. Dissolve gelatin by microwaving for 3 minutes, stirring after every minute. Remove from microwave and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes; gelatin must be liquid but not warm when added to cream.





Remove bowl and beaters from refrigerator and pour in cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat together just until beater marks begin to show distinctly. Add gelatin mixture to cream, pouring in a steady stream while beating constantly. Beat until stiff peaks form. Use immediately.



if you do have regular sugar you can just make it into powdered sugar by using a food processor or a blender on a high speed for a few seconds. . . .then you can use a powdered sugar recipe.

How to organize Recipes?

Does anyone have any ideas on how i can organize my recipes. I have a whole bunch of recipes cut out from magazines and I don't know how to organize themHow to organize Recipes?
I too have so many recipes that I have collected over the years! What I have been doing (and am still in the process of doing) is typing them (the ones that are old and I can not find online) the other recipes (like the ones from my Gourmet %26amp; Cooking Light subscription I download and print. I put them in the clear plastic sleeves (protects from cooking juices) and into a 3 ring binder. I also arrange them by section with section dividers. The 3 ring binder is easy because I just pop the recipe I want out. It's a bit of work but it is more organized.How to organize Recipes?
Get a 3 ring photo binder, or even just a 3 rings binder, and some of those tabs for labeling the division pages. Organize like a cookbook. Appetizers, soups, chicken, pasta, salads, etc. Then tape the recipes in there. The nice part is if you tape one or two to a page, you can write your notes in there too.
I bought some accordion file folders and store them in there. Every few months, I cull out the ones I'm positive will never be made and give them away on FreeCycle. It's difficult because I'm always taking in more than I'm giving away. The ones that passed our culinary needs (and will be made more than twice) get transcribed into a blank cookbook I bought.





ps some cooks store their recipes in photo albums or baseball-card binders.
I write all of my recipes on index cards and put them in a recipe box that I got at a dollar store. It is a lot of work having to write everything but it just looks more organized.

  • Looking for good recipes for artichoke and spinach dishes of all sorts?

    My favorite is a spinach/artichoke casserole. There is no way to make this a pretty presentation though. I've tried to dress it up with variations, and it still comes out flat ugly. But oh soooooo good!





    8 oz. frozen artichoke hearts/quarters (Do not use canned. They usually have some sort of brine, and seem mushy to me.) Bird's Eye has frozen ones that come in a box, and Kroger/King Soopers carries a larger bag under their house label ';Private Selection.';





    8 oz. frozen CHOPPED spinach


    1 stick Cracker Barrel sharp cheddar cheese, cut into small cubes. Do not use shredded cheese.


    1 packet dried onion soup mix


    16 oz. sour cream. I use lowfat, it doesn't seem to affect taste or texture.





    Cook artichokes and spinach on stovetop, according to directions. Drain artichokes, and press spinach in colander until excess moisture is drained off.





    Mix all ingredients in a 2 qt. casserole sprayed lightly with Pam or similar product. Bake at 325 for 40 minutes.Looking for good recipes for artichoke and spinach dishes of all sorts?

    What's The Best Way To Cook Hamburgers? Any Recipes?

    I have high blood pressure and have stopped eating at fast food joints. I love Hamburgers and French Fries! I need healthy ways to cook (recipes?) ground beef and would like to know if you have ideas I can use. It can be other things besides Hamburgers. Right now I'll try anything. Thank you very much.What's The Best Way To Cook Hamburgers? Any Recipes?
    Here are some staple recipes. To make them healthier, choose the low fat or fat-free options and leaner meat (despite what my burger recipe says, good burgers can be made with lean meat, but don't squish the burger while it cooks. I hope some of these help!)





    Burgers





    There really is a secret to great burgers:





    First, you have to start with meat that is NOT lean, like 85%. (I know, it goes against our instincts, but that's what makes a really juicy hamburger). Next, you need to get a hamburger spice (found in the spice isle). Mix the spice in with the hamburger before you make patties, for a well-distributed flavor. Make nice, round, thick patties. When you grill them, DON'T smash them down with your spatula. You want the juice to stay inside.





    Next, you need to find the best condiments you can. Offer several kinds of mustard (I love the spicy german kind), SWEET sliced onions, pickles that fit the hamburger bun, the best tomatoes you can find, ketchup, of course.





    As for the bun. DON'T buy the pre-packaged kind, unless you have to. Go to the deli and see if they offer home made buns. Those would be much better. Also...get several kinds of cheese, again from the deli, to offer guests.





    I would also make a killer salad or two. This always helps make a meal. Here is one salad everyone raves about, and it's really easy:





    Caesar Coleslaw





    1 pkg pre-made coleslaw


    1/4-1/2 cup shredded parmesean cheese


    1/2 pkg caesar croutons


    1 bottle creamy caesar dressing





    Toss first three ingredients together. Add enough dressing to coat. It's even good the next day!





    and another that's quite good:





    Broccoli Cheese Salad





    4 cups broccoli, cut into small pieces


    1 red onion, chopped


    1 cup cubed cheddar cheese


    6 slices bacon, cooked, crumbled





    Combine above ingredients. Combine 1 cup mayonnaise, 录 cup sugar, and 2 Tbsp vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Pour over salad.





    Potatoe salad is always a hit. I haven't been able to make one that is better than the deli makes. It's called Reeser's potatoe salad. BBQ beans are always wonderful as a side, too.





    Sorry, I went on and on. I love to cook, and I love burgers!


    Have fun!





    Here are some other ideas:





    This is so easy, and you can't believe how tasty!

    ChrisWhat's The Best Way To Cook Hamburgers? Any Recipes?
    try grilling burgers, this allot healthier than having them fried as more fat drains off them when cooking.





    Also try oven fries or chips, much healthier than fried ones. They are really popular here in the UK.





    Another thing, if you have high blood pressure you should really be steering clear of red meats. Try chicken or fish instead.
    well you can grill the burgers


    make meat loaf


    ummmm.......stuff with reduced salt


    potato wedges


    lay off the stuff with high cholestorol
    Lean mince beef, breadcrumbs, beat with egg add horseradish for a bit of a kick, salt n pep or change beef for lamb and horseradish for corriander serve with rice, salad and yoghurt and cucumber dip...good luck
    Grilling your burgers and using leaner meat is a good start. Grilling drains alot of bad fats as well know. And leaner meats are a good way to get what you crave and eat smart. ALSO cutting the salt on fries by baking them is a good way to get the crispy texture and flavor you love with out all the grease and salt. My hubby has HB too I use seasalt if he wants a salt fix but only at most a tsp per meal no more. Good luck





    oh here are a few recipes to check out too.
    try the grill for your burgers..


    instead of fries..use eggplant..


    pour some olive oil over your sliced eggplant,add pepper and paprika..


    mushrooms scallions red and green pepper..stem onions..


    you can cook almost anything on the grill..its a lot healthier
    Use leaner mince, and grill on a rack in a pan in the oven, and watch the fat drip out.


    Without the fat, you may want to add a little extra 'something', but just use your regular recipes.


    I am constantly changing how I make mine by adding different herbs and spices to my mix.


    Normally I add some mixed herbs and a little curry powder.


    (the curry powder adds a little flavour, but not enough to actually curry the mix)

You cook a corned beef until about two thirds done then add in a green cabbage that has been cut into quarters, carrots, whole small onions, celery, and finish cooking untile the veggies are tender.
