directions

  • Volcano: Dissolve coffee granules in boiling water& set aside to cool.
  • Grease 6, 4-oz (125 ml) ramekins.
  • Using a whisk, combine flour, cocoa and baking powder in a small bowl, set aside.
  • Melt chocolate in a double boiler, add butter& sugar and stir until smooth; transfer to a large bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat in eggs 1 at a time on medium speed, add dissolved coffee& flour mixture and continue beating until fully mixed; raise mixer speed to high and beat for 6 more minutes.
  • Pour batter into ramekins and tightly wrap with plastic wrap; freeze overnight or up to 2 weeks.
  • Coulis: Combine raspberries& sugar in a blender and puree until smooth; strain through a sieve or cheesecloth to remove seeds.
  • Add liqueur and store in refrigerator.
  • Assembly: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Take ramekins out of freezer, remove plastic wrap& bake volcanoes for 18 minutes – no longer!
  • Cool on rack for 5 minutes- the outsides will be crusty and the centers will be gooey (sort of like your average volcano).
  • To serve, drizzle individual plates with raspberry coulis; invert each ramekin onto a plate& add a small scoop of ice cream.

  1. At first glance, this recipe seemed difficult because there are so many various steps. But it really was quite easy and worth the effort, because this is a rich, decadent, very-chocolatey cake. The directions only give the baking time for a frozen cake, but I wanted to bake two of them immediately. So I cut the baking time down to 15 minutes, and they were a little overdone. Perhaps 13 minutes would have made the "lava" flow more easily.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!! On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges! We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006. I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design! <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg">
