Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 325° F. Lightly coat a 12-cup muffin tin with vegetable cooking spray.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter in a large bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Remove from heat.
  3. In another large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar at medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and melted chocolate. Mix with a spoon until well blended.
  4. Divide the batter evenly into 8 muffin tins and bake until the cakes have just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
  5. The cakes will still look a bit moist on top. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes. Serve warm with the caramel sauce and ice cream.

Quick Tip

Chocolate candy

    Turnips

    Although the turnip has been grown for more than 4,000 years and was one of the first foods to be cultivated in Europe, it is currently underappreciated: It keeps well, takes to almost any cooking method, and has a subtly flavored, tasty flesh.
