Mini Chocolate Cup Cake (Fondant)

Noah was looking through an old recipe book & said, "Daddy lets make dessert! This one!" I was about to let him down, so we rushed into kitchen & got all busy :o)

It looks like his interest in culinary is blossoming. I hope Eli would join us too in a few years time, though the two boys can cook up a storm NOW if they're both in the kitchen with me.

Fondant is a french word that means melted or melts in the mouth. Well, it's suppose to have a lava of chocolate in the middle - cooked on the outside & half cooked in the middle. Not a bad turnout on our first try with Noah under my wings.

80 g Dark Chocolate
3 Eggs
300 g Self Raising Flour
200 g Unsalted Butter
150 g Brown Sugar
100 ml of Skimmed Milk
Icing Sugar for Dusting (if you like)

Melt the dark chocolate/butter. Whisk egg with sugar, then add the molten butter & dark chocolate. Continue whisking till everything is nice & fluffy. Add flour in stages with skimmed milk to achieve a rich chestnut brown mixture. Put the mixture in a metal pudding tray & steam it on a steamer for 7-9 minutes. You can also bake it in the oven at 220°C for 7 minutes or so.
