For Tuesday with Dorie this fortnight, I made Soft-Centered Chocolate Teacup Cakes. These are what I would call chocolate fondants - chocolate spongey cake puddings with a gooey chocolate centre (see top photo).
This dessert needs to be eaten warm so that the centre stays gooey. I made just one, because with 50g of chocolate in each one and no-one else to share these with, I don't think making the full batch was a great idea.
This little pudding was delicious - rich and decadent, with the soft chocolate sponge hiding the warm gooey chocolate centre. Delicious!

Looks great! I'm looking forward to making these next weekend; they sound so good!
sounds great - I always mean to make these sort of puddings - but they always seem so decadent! So I just drool over them instead
These were so good, huh?
FYI I made mine and finished baking them around 5.30pm. Photographed them at 5.50pm and ate them at 8pm - the centre was still gooey (but the cake was not hot). Good to know, right? ;)
Sounds like you enjoyed this recipe! I can't wait to try this one for myself!
I love the sound of these. A gooey centre is such a nice surprise! :D
We had leftovers since it is just me and my husband, and microwaved the leftovers for 15 seconds and it turned out perfectly reheated. I thought they were incredibly delicious too!
I found out, like you did, that the cake tasted better warm. Making the cake for one can be so easily done with this recipe. I like that!
I don't blame you for making just one - they were hard to resist!
I am sure that this recipe is going to make my chocolate lover very happy. A little vanilla ice cream seems like a good idea too!
Oh Gaye, if you only knew how I long for something oozy, gooey and decadent! Like you, I would have to make this little treasure for one. (Marion has her ice cream, lol...
Thank you so much for sharing, Gaye...It's getting late over here so it's quite possible I may be dreaming about it:)
I can't have chocolate, but my friends can and I make what I call Nigella's Runny Puddings, which are in fact a fondant. Do you ever turn yours out?? I never do, I am not confident they would stay intact. One for you is perfect!!
I don't think I could make just one. I would make more for later, even if it was just for me. I like your self discipline.
A perfect solo treat! I only made enough for the two of us, also because I didn't want to be tempted to eat an extra!

Your cake looks very chocolaty in that cup. I've been getting quite a dose of chocolate from the hot chocolate panna cotta so I think making one was a great idea.
I am looking forward to making these next, they seem to be a hit with all.
These look great and I love the name 'teacup cakes' - it's not one I've heard before but it's a cute term.
Just one? Wise idea! I only made 2 myself and wow, they were rich! Great job!
These were good. I only made two and that was plenty for the two of us. Yours look perfect.
Those little chocolate teacup cakes are so cute...your description of them is nice as I wondered what all that was about. Fun to make and serve!
