Like many people, I love chocolate! Chocolate drink, chocolate bar, chocolate cake, whatever with chocolate. It's my comfort food when I used to get depressed or sad because of a boy when I was still single. In school, a chocolate bar early in the morning gets me going and happy. Nowadays, baking chocolate fudge brownies, chocolate lava cakes, or soft center chocolate cakes is my form of destressing and relaxation. If you like bittersweet chocolate and enjoy baking, you must try the recipe below from Ghirardelli. The baking chocolate is available now in Shopwise and Rustan's for half the price.
Ghirardelli Soft Center Chocolate Cake
4oz. unsalted butter
4oz (1bar) Ghirardelli 70% Cacao Extra Bittersweet Chocolate Baking Bar
2 whole eggs
1/3 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1Tbsp cake flour
1/2 tsp vanilla
Melt butter and chocolate in double boiler. Whip eggs, yolks, sugar, and vanilla with mixer for about 10 minutes on high speed. Fold melted chocolate and butter into the egg mixture. Fold in flour just until combined. Butter and sugar four 6oz ramekins. Bake at 450 F for about 9-10 minutes. The center will be quite soft but the top and sides will be set. Let sit out of the oven for about 5 minutes, then unmold onto a plate. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
My family loves the cake even by itself though. :)
