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!
To see what the others thought of this recipe (or the other recipe this month, a panna cotta), visit the LYL section of the TWD website.
Looks great! I'm looking forward to making these next weekend; they sound so good!
ReplyDeletesounds great - I always mean to make these sort of puddings - but they always seem so decadent! So I just drool over them instead
ReplyDeleteThese were so good, huh?
ReplyDeleteFYI 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!
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of these. A gooey centre is such a nice surprise! :D
ReplyDeleteWe 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you for making just one - they were hard to resist!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteOh 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...
ReplyDeleteThank 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!!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteA 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!

ReplyDeleteYour 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.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to making these next, they seem to be a hit with all.
ReplyDeleteThese look great and I love the name 'teacup cakes' - it's not one I've heard before but it's a cute term.
ReplyDeleteJust one? Wise idea! I only made 2 myself and wow, they were rich! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThese were good. I only made two and that was plenty for the two of us. Yours look perfect.
ReplyDeleteThose 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!
