How do I make keep chocolate metled in a cake?!


Question: How do I make keep chocolate metled in a cake?
Ok so it's valentine day tomorrow and I am going to bake some cupcakes for my girlfriend.

I have been thinking of making them so they have melted chocolate in the middle, however I don't know how to make them so the chocolate doesn't go hard again!

I can't put the chocolate in the oven as it will burn, so I was thinking of injecting the melted chocolate into the middle, like they do with donuts, however I am not sure if the chocolate will stay melted!

If anyone knows a good way or website that tell me how to do it, please share with me!

INGREDIENTS

* 150g good-quality dark chocolate
* 125g butter
* 3 eggs
* 3 egg yolks
* 75g caster sugar
* 50g plain flour
* 25g good quality cocoa powder, plus extra for dusting

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4. Butter four 8cm ramekins and place on a baking tray. Break or chop the chocolate and melt with the butter in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water.

2. Whisk the eggs and egg yolks with the sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Add the egg mixture to the chocolate mixture and fold in to mix. Sift in the flour and cocoa powder and fold in gently with a metal spoon or spatula until just mixed.

3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared ramekins and bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until risen and just firm to the touch. The outer part should be cooked and the inner part liquid.

Carefully run a knife around the inside of each mould to loosen the puddings, then carefully turn them out onto individual warmed serving plates. Dust with cocoa powder and serve immediately with vanilla ice-cream.

Your best bet is doing a molten chocolate cake. It's not an actual melted chocolate in center,but will work.

Put like a big chocolate chip in the middle so that they melt and it will be good.
