Molten chocolate cakes with sour cherry sauce
Cakes
I thought about making this dessert because I love molten cake, but also because I was dreaming of the sour cherry packed layered chocolate cake my Grandma used to make for my birthday as a child, so naturally I started thinking about a way in which the two would come together nicely. Since her chocolate cake was drenched in lemon and orange syrup and had sour cherry spread wedged between the layers, I made a sauce with all of these, to which I added a splash of cognac, which gave everything a nice and slightly boozy hint. If you’re serving this to kids, you can skip the alcohol. <br /> <br />This dessert is pretty easy to make and what’s great about it is that it can be made ahead. You could make the batter for the cakes it in the morning, divide it between the molds and refrigerate them before popping them in the oven. The sauce can also be prepared ahead and refrigerated. Baking time is about 15 minutes for the cakes, so you can put them in the oven just before bringing them out, since they should be served warm, with a generous dollop of the sour cherry sauce on top.
