Инструкции

  1. First, prepare your dried chilies.
  2. I ground them in a mini food processor. I wore gloves when handling them.
  3. Sliced the ends off with a knife and discarded the seeds and ends.
  4. Place the pepper in the processor and use the finest grounds in your recipe.
  5. To make the filling, melt 2 oz of the chocolate in a double boiler. When the chocolate has melted, add the cream, sugar, orange zest and ground chili.
  6. Mix to blend.
  7. Put in the fridge for 3 – 4 hours and let set.
  8. About 15 minutes before you’re ready to put the cakes into the oven, separate the filling into 6 individual servings, about 1/2 TBS or so each.
  9. Put them on wax paper, on a paper plate and put into the freezer. This will let them set a little firmer.
  10. To make the cakes, preheat the oven to 400 F.
  11. Spray 6 ramekins with non-stick baking spray (the kind with flour).
  12. Melt 6 oz of the chocolate in the double boiler with the 1/2 cup butter (1 stick).
  13. Meanwhile, in a glass bowl, beat the eggs, yolks, and sugar for about 4 – 6 minutes until it becomes light in color and thickens. Gently fold in the chocolate, the chilie and then the flour.
  14. Spoon some of the cake batter into the ramekins, about 1/2 full.
  15. Now remove your “lava” filling from the freezer and add each of the 6 servings into the middle of each ramekin.
  16. Cover with the remaining cake batter.
  17. Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 18 – 20 minutes or until cake is slightly firm to the touch. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
  18. Using a knife, insert it carefully into the side of the ramekin just to loosen the cake. Put a plate on top of the cake and flip over to serve.
  19. If you used a lot of the chili, or you used a really HOT chili, the heat is nicely offset by a big scoop of ice cream or whip cream.
