Baking with Dorie: A Seriously Chocolaty Cake

this did not work for me at all. i took the cake out after 30 minutes exactly and it was still shiny in the middle. in my gut, i thought that it wasn't done, but i second guessed that feeling and took it out. it seemed mushy and was falling apart. it wasn't done. i didn't know what to do, so i crammed it back in the pan and put it back in the oven for a bit. needless to say, it wasn't pretty, and i won't be serving it for my dinner party tomorrow, which is disappointing because i had already made the white chocolate sauce. i really don't know what i did wrong...well, except for the fact that i didn't have a round pan, so i used a square 9 inch pan. my oven temperature is pretty right on--although it is an old oven. any thoughts. i'm so disappointed.

anyway, your chocolate pot de creme has worked for me. so i made that (it was just sort of exhausting making two desserts after working on my main course for all day.) also, any ideas on what to do with the white chocolate cream?

Baking with Dorie: A Seriously Chocolaty Cake

Just wanted to second some of the folks who had problems. I'm an experienced baker. I've made a fallen chocolate souffle cake for years, but thought I'd try something new as my party pleaser.

Had the same problem as most. Baked for 30 minutes, and the middle was 'molten'. Poured back into the pan with relatively little damage, baked for at least another 30 minutes then unmolded. It's sitting in a fudgy puddle on my counter. It certainly tastes fabulous, but I can't serve it to the judging masses.

What went wrong?!

Possibilities:
1) Mistakenly boiled the whole 1 1/3 c sugar with the bourbon to start. So I only added a few tbsp of sugar to the eggs.
2) I noticed that the chocolate had nearly completely cooled half way through the first stick of butter. It took at least 10 minutes to incorporate all of the butter.

Could these be the culprit(s)?

Thanks all!

I made this for a family function and it was superb. So good with strawberries on top.

Yes, I was just reading the Vogue article this morning, and was hoping to see the recipe. What's up with that slacker?

I made this cake over the weekend for a family party and it came out perfect! My husband loved it!

A 9-inch square pan has a lot more surface area than a round 9-inch pan. If the water bath was still one-inch high, my gut instinct is that you won't get the crust on top. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. You can make brownies and use the white chocolate cream on those.

sweet sweet quinoa (although technically that's a seed, and not a grain. so if i were being technical, i'd say the humble yet delicious brown rice)

I just found out about quinoa, so I think that would be an interesting addition.

oatmeal...I keep coming up with more and more ways to add it to our meals. Also, we loved brown rice. It has totally replaced white rice in our diets.
