Molten Center Gooey Chocolate Cake for Convection Oven

Ingredients

  • 14 ounce unsalted butter
  • 13 ounce Valrohna ex-bitter 65% or other dark chocolate
  • 14 ounce powdered sugar
  • 13 ounce pastry flour
  • 8 eggs
  • 8 yolks

Instructions

Melt chocolate and butter together. Remove from heat. Whisk in eggs all at once, till well incorporated. Add sifted sugar and flour all at once and whisk batter till smooth. Batter should look like a brownie batter. Line 16 Ekco PCA 423-30 4oz full curl utility cups with plastic film. You can buy 8 in a pack at a grocery store, they're called Ekco muffin cups. Deposit batter up to the first line of the cup, about 7/8 full. This batter does not souffle or run over. Bake in a convection oven at 220 C / 450F for 8-10 minutes. Remove and rest one minute, then invert onto the serving plate. The plastic film will not melt into the cake or impart any bad flavor. the purpose is to make the cup non-stick. This method WILL NOT work in a standard oven. Convection Only Please. The batter actually insulates the plastic it is in contact with and the cake is baked just long enough to form a crust that will support the runny unbaked center. Also makes a good brownie in a pinch, add nuts.
