By Madeleine

Ingredients

• ✓ espresso powder
• bittersweet chocolate
• semisweet chocolate
• butter
• egg
• sugar
• mashed potato
• cocoa powder
• vanilla extract
• salt

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. 2 Liberally spray six 6 oz ramekins with nonstick cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.
3. 3 In a double boiler, melt the chocolate and butter.
4. 4 Alternative: Use a medium size stainless bowl that sits on top of a small saucepan (with water in saucepan) if you do not have a double boiler. Do not let any water get into the melting chocolate.
5. 5 Remove from heat and cool.
6. 6 In a large mixing bowl beat eggs with hand mixer for several minutes and thoroughly foamy.
7. 7 Add sugar, dry mashed potatoes, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, espresso powder and salt. Beat a couple of minutes to mix.
8. 8 Add the melted chocolate mixture and beat for five minutes. This recipe works best if lots of air is incorporated into the mixture to make the cakes light and airy.
9. 9 Pour into ramekins. DO NOT under bake or over bake the cakes. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes. Keep your eye on them; you want them to be molten (a bit soft in the middle), but not too much.
10. 10 Let them rest a few minutes before serving. The center may sink a little - don't worry.
11. 11 Run a thin knife around the inside edge to help release the cakes.
12. 12 Top with powdered sugar and whip cream.

Remove from heat and pour boiling mixture over chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Cool to room temperature. Beat using an electric mixer on high speed until chocolate mixture is lighter in color and fluffy in texture, about 1 minute. Immediately proceed to assemble the cake before the the whipped chocolate fudge filling hardens, which makes it difficult to spread.
5. 5 To assemble the cake, place 1 cooled cake layer with the trimmed side up on a cake pan or serving plate. Spread 1/2 the whipped chocolate fudge filling evenly on top. Add the next layer and spread remaining chocolate fudge filling on top. Top with third layer, trimmed side down.
6. 6 To prepare the buttercream frosting, use a stand mixer affixed with the paddle attachment. Beat together butter and confectioners' sugar on low speed until well blended. Add chocolate-hazelnut spread and increase the speed to medium. Beat for 2 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and kosher salt and whip for an additional 30 seconds. Add 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream and beat until the frosting lightens slightly in color and texture, about 1 more minute.
7. 7 Frost entire cake with buttercream frosting and chill for at least 1 hour.
8. 8 For the chocolate drippys, place 4 ounces chopped chocolate in the heatproof bowl of a stand mixer and set aside. Whisk together 1/4 cup cream and 1/2 tablespoon shortening in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Pour boiling cream mixture over chocolate and whisk until melted and smooth. Let cool slightly, then pour mixture into a clean squeeze bottle. Let set until it has the consistency of thin ranch dressing. Squeeze on top of the frosted cake and allow to drip down the sides. Chill until chocolate is set. Decorate the top of the cake with assorted confections of your choice and serve at room temperature.
