Michael smith says: "i'm addicted to chocolate and always look for a way to work it into a treat, especially with coffee. Together they make mocha. This coffee flavoured chocolate cake batter baked in coffee cups looks like a cup of coffee – until you cut into it!". Enjoy!
Ingredients
- Bittersweet Chocolate
- Butter
- Eggs
- Brown Sugar
- Vanilla
- Strong Coffee
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees f
- Toss the chocolate and butter into a small bowl and set over a small pot of simmering water to begin melting it
- This will insulate the delicate chocolate from direct heat and keep it from scorching
- As they begin to melt stir until smooth then remove them from the heat
- Whisk the eggs, sugar, vanilla and coffee together
- Add the chocolate mixture, whisk until smooth then divide evenly between four coffee mugs
- Place the mugs in a small high-sided pot
- Add enough hot water around the cups to equal the level of the batter within the cups
- Bake until the custards are set, about 45 minutes
- Check their doneness by jiggling them slightly
- They should appear to be set but still have a bit of a quiver in the center
- You may also insert a toothpick to judge doneness
- They may take as long as 60 minutes but no longer
