LOOKING for: mini bundt chocolate recipe

18 years ago

I finally bought a mini-bundt pan so I can make 2 individual servings of dessert and freeze the rest.

I also have 2 bags of Ghiardelli bittersweet chocolate chips.

Anyone got a good suggestion for a Valentines dessert?

OK, I'll bite -- my favorite chocolate (or other)bundt cake recipes are from the Cake Doctor cook book. While I often make cakes from scratch, since I became a busy mother I'm not beyond doctoring up a Duncan Hines cake mix! One that is consistently good is chocolate, and uses a devil's food cake mix, sour cream & a box of pudding and chocolate chips with a choclate glaze -- although if they are not mini choc chips, I find they don't stay suspended in the batter. They would do fine in mini pans and I suspect they would freeze well too.

Somewhere in my files I have a recipe for a scratch chocolate orange bundt cake which is good, from Gourmet.

My all time favorite chocolate dessert is an easy hot chocolate souffle cake that is make ahead (1 day), and uses bittersweet chocolate. It was in Fine Cooking last holidays (2004) and it is a company staple at our house. It is not, however, made in mini bundt pans, but small ramekins. Let me know if you want any of the recipes!

LOOKING for: Ice Cream recipe using Chocolate Milk
Q

Ok, I tried the About.com recipe, which was essentially chocolate milk, sweetened condensed milk and cool whip. (I added some HersheyÂs syrup to make it more chocolate-y). It didnÂt turn out to be what I hoped for, and given the ingredients, I know why - itÂs really more like ice milk than ice cream. It didnÂt freeze well in the ice cream maker, instead staying at a WendyÂs Frosty consistency Â and thatÂs kind of what it tasted like, too (which isnÂt bad of course, just not what I was going for) When I put it in the freezer, it froze very solid, too solid. Taking it out of the container was like a granita. the next time we're in this "predicament" of too much chocolate milk, I'll try a recipe with more fat, either from cream or eggs. Until then, I have a stash of this ice milk in the freeze which will make quite a few awesome milk shakes...

RECIPE: Looking for: Carnival Cruise Chocolate Melting Cake
Q

Here is the recipe I use, everyone loves it: Chocolate Melting Cake 10 TB unsalted butter, diced 1 1/2 cup sugar 8 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped 2 oz unsweetened chocolate, finely chopped 2 TB cornstarch 3 large eggs plus 4 large yolks at room temperature 2 tsp Grand Marnier (I refuse to buy this just for this one recipe & don't miss it) Adjust oven rack to upper middle position and heat to 350Â°F. Lightly butter 8 ramekins & dust with granulated sugar. Melt bittersweet and unsweetened chocolate and 10 TB butter in a bowl over simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth, remove from heat to cool a bit. In a large bowl, whisk 1 1/2 cups sugar and cornstarch together. Add chocolate mixture and stir to combine. Add eggs, yolks and liquor and whisk until fully combined. If chocolate is still warm, you may need to temper the eggs as you add them to the chocolate. Scoop 1/2 cup of batter into each buttered ramekin. Place filled ramekins on baking sheets and bake until tops are set, have formed shiny crusts and are beginning to crack, 16-20 minutes. Cool for before serving and serve with coffee ice cream. I don't think Carnival dusts the ramekins with the granulated sugar which adds an interesting crunch to the edge that I like. Otherwise, it tastes very similar. You may have to adjust cooking time, my oven is a few degrees off & takes 20-21 minutes to get it the way I want it. I can't remember where I got the recipe, possibly from someone on this forum.

LOOKING for: Chocolate glaze for a bundt cake
Q

My all time favorite chocolate glaze/frosting is: 1. Melt one stick of unsalted butter in a pan with 1/2 cup hershey cocoa, stir well & turn off heat 2. Add ~2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar, tiny pinch of salt, 1 tsp vanilla, and about 3-4 TBSP buttermilk or other milk. Stir well. Give it a few minutes to cool down and thicken up a bit and then pour over cake. This is the frosting recipe for a buttermilk chocolate snack sheet cake I make often, but it makes a great frosting for a bundt cake too.

This is a killer chocolate recipe. You must love chocolate though!!

Chocolate Chocolate SoufflÃ©s (recipe courtesy of Emeril Lagasse)

Yield: 4 servings
2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, break up into chunks
4 large egg whites
3 large egg yolks
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting
Grand Marnier Chocolate Sauce
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup Grand Marnier
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

In a small saucepan, heat the cream and butter. Add the Grand Marnier. Whisk then bring to a boil. Remove from the heat and whisk in chocolate pieces until all the chocolate is incorporated. Serve with the souffle.

.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Butter 4 individual ramekins and sprinkle with about 1 teaspoon sugar for each ramekin.

Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler set over simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat.

In a bowl beat the egg whites with 1/4 cup of the sugar until stiff and glossy.

Whisk the egg yolks into the melted chocolate 1 at a time, add the Grand Marnier, and whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Fold in the egg whites until thoroughly blended. Transfer mixture to ramekins and place on a baking sheet. Bake until puffed and somewhat firm, about 20 minutes.
Emeril recommends serving with the chocolate sauce, but I felt it was rich enough and very delicious without the sauce.
