Fun Times!

Yesterday was a fun day of making oversized wool felt flowers to embellish bags and pillows.  (ps - thanks to the gals that came to play with me). 

Today begins Box O Chocolates Block of the Month pick up week.  To celebrate the chocolate, here is a recipe I've been baking and serving to guests lately. It is both easy to do and sinful as chocolate should be.  This is one of the recipes we included with our Box O Chocolates patterns:

Molten Chocolate Cake

Pre-heat oven to 450


Butter 4 ramekin baking dishes.  Measure out 3T of cocoa powder. Use some of this to coat the buttered ramekins and save the excess. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and set aside.


Melt in double broiler and set aside to cool slightly:

• 1 1/2 sticks butter
• 6 - 1 oz squares of semi sweet chocolate

Whisk together:

• 3 whole eggs and 3 egg yolks
• 1/3 C plus 2T white sugar

Slowly stir melted chocolate in to eggs. Stir in 1/4 C flour and remainder of cocoa powder until just combined.


Divide batter among the 4 ramekin dishes and bake for 13-14 minutes until cakes are firm and yet soft in the middle. 


Cool for about 1 minute before inverting on to serving plate.  Best if served with ice cream.  After the cakes are cooled, the chocolate center sets up a bit.  You can re-heat for 10 seconds to return to the molten lava state! (voice of experience here)
