Well, things have been a little lonely here without my Cayenne Spice to keep me amused, but things are starting to improve. The new team is here in Port Angeles, and they don't suck. Most of them are actually pretty cool. I'm looking forward to working with them. But it makes me miss everyone from last year even more.
Anyway, one day I was feeling a little sad about the loss of my twin, Fried, and my bffl, Cayenne, and I was thinking that the best way to make all those sad lonely feelings go away was to have some quality time with my good friend Chocolate. Needless to say, I started a chocolate hunt on foodgawker. I was a little disappointed with the immediate offerings until I stumbled upon the most magical chocolately goodness of all-- molten chocolate cake. Fuck yeah. So off I went to the kitchen to whip me up some deliciousness. The recipe went a little something like this:
4 squares semi-sweet baking chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1 cup powdered sugar
2 whole eggs
2 egg yolks
6 tbsp flour
Preheat that toasty oven to 425 and butter up some ramekins.
Put the butter and chocolate into a bowl and microwave until the butter is melted and the chocolate is soft. Now you gotta whisk that chocolate goodness until its smooth and sexy.
Stir in the sugar, the eggs and yolks, and the flour and mix it nice and good.
Spoon into the ramekins and put in the over for about 12 minutes, or until the outside is just hard.
Take those little beauties out, and stare at them in all their glory for about a minute. Then run a knife around the edges and pop them onto a plate.
I topped them with raspberry sauce and had a glass of milk, but strawberries and vanilla ice cream would have been bomb. The chocolate just oozes out from the middle. It's like magic.
