Here’s how to make the most delicious molten chocolate cake recipe.

Ingredients

For Molten Cake:

• 1 lb. Butter, salted
• 2 ½ cup Baby Ruth®, chopped very fine
• 8 Eggs, whole 8 Egg yolks
• 4 oz. Powdered sugar

For Topping:

• 1 cup Whipped heavy cream, chilled
• 2 tbsp. Powdered sugar
• ½ cup Baby Ruth®, chopped in 1/4”
• 2 oz Vanilla syrup, warm
• 4 tbsp. Caramel dessert syrup

Method

Cake:

• Lightly coat mini cake pans with food release spray.
• Melt butter and Baby Ruth® together over a water bath and whisk mixture until smooth.
• Let cool to room temperature. In a bowl whisk together the eggs and sugar. Gradually stir in the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
• Do not whip too much air into the mixture.
• Divide mixture into mini cake pans and place into freezer until frozen hard.
• Preheat oven to 450 F. Place frozen cakes on a cookie sheet and bake until cakes are puffed up – but still jiggly in the center (very important) approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
• Use a sharp knife to cut along the edge of the cake pan to release the cakes. Gently invert the cake onto the plate so it does not deflate.

Topping:

• With a piping bag and tip, decorate the top of the molten cake with whipped cream and apply the chopped Baby Ruth® pieces.
• Drizzle with vanilla syrup.
• Serve with a side of ice cream if desired.
