Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
Molten Chocolate Espresso Cakes

- #72913
30-60 minutes
ingredients
6 ounces excellent-quality bittersweet chocolate
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup heavy cream, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
1 cup heavy cream for whipping
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon espresso powder
unsweetened cocoa powder, for garnish
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt the chocolate with the butter in the top of a double boiler. Set aside to cool.
In an electric mixer with a paddle attachment (or by hand, with a spoon), mix the sugar and eggs until lightened in color, about 1 minute.
Pour in the cooled chocolate-butter mixture, then beat or stir in the 1/2 cup cream, vanilla and salt. Beat well, scraping down the sides of the bowl as you go. Add the flour and mix just until blended.
Divide the mixture between 6-ounce oven-proof cappuccino cups (They should be filled to 1/4-inch below the rim of the cup). Put them on a baking sheet and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, just until the tops begin to crack. Do not over bake (the top should be crisp but the interior soft).
Let them cool for about 15 minutes while you make the whipped cream.
For Whipped Cream: Dissolve the espresso powder in the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream, then whip the cream until it forms soft peaks.
Put a dollop of the flavored whipped cream on each warm "cappuccino" and garnish with a dusting of cocoa. Serve warm.
