Milk Chocolate and Orange Mousse Cakes
Hector Manuel Sanchez
How to Make It
Step 1
Heat oven to 325°. In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate and butter together over a pot of barely simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave. Stir to combine, then set aside to cool slightly. Stir in the orange zest, egg yolks, vanilla, and salt. Stir in the cocoa powder.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer, beat the egg whites to soft peaks in a clean large bowl. Gradually add the sugar and beat until shiny stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Stir a scoop of the egg white mixture into the chocolate mixture to loosen it, then carefully fold in the remainder.
Step 3
Divide the batter between four (4 oz.) ramekins and smooth the tops. Set the ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake until the cakes are puffed and the tops look dry but the centers are still moist, 20 to 22 minutes. Serve warm.

What an easy recipe! and the results were superdelicious. I gathered up all my unused chocolate, so mine was more than half dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. (I left out the cocoa powder because of this. And I added a bit of cinnamon and a tiny dash of cayenne, too-- not that one would have to do any of that-- but it was good.)
And yes, only 2 T of butter.

I really want to make this for my honey but this doesn't make sense: 2 T butter = 1 stick. ??? 1 stick = eight T..... Which is it: 2 T or 8 T??? Thank you!
