Betty's Mocha Truffle Cake

In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Mocha Truffle Cake. This is my version of the cake that we had for dessert at 815 Prime Restaurant in Midway, Kentucky.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
6 tablespoons butter, cut into ½-inch slices
6 oz. semisweet chocolate chips (1 cup)
3 oz. half-and-half (half milk, half cream)
5 oz. egg substitute
1/3 cup sugar (heaping)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon coffee granules or instant coffee
vanilla ice cream, for topping

Spread 1 tablespoon of melted butter in 6 oven-proof baking cups. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, swirling to coat the bottom and a little of the sides. Set aside. Place 6 tablespoons butter and 6 oz. semisweet chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over boiling water. Stir continually until butter and chocolate are melted. Turn off heat and slowly whisk in 3 ounces half-and-half. Remove from stove and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine 5 oz. egg substitute with a heaping 1/3 cup sugar. Beat at medium speed of an electric mixer for about 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Add prepared chocolate cream, 1/3 cup flour, and 1 tablespoon coffee granules, beating until blended. Spoon batter equally into 6 prepared baking cups. Bake at 450 degrees (F) for about 15 to 17 minutes. The edges should be springy, but the center will be soft. While still hot, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and serve immediately. Heavenly! We really love this one! I hope you enjoy it, too! --Betty ♥♥♥♥♥

Is there any way to substitute the use of chocolate chips, for cocoa powder , in this recipe? I know that's a completely different product, but I was thinking if it would turn out the same with additional sugar being added.

I just have so much cocoa powder that I dont want to expire, not enough chocolate chips, and this recipe looks delicious.

Please let me know! Thank you :)

@dyingoflaughterr For 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, I use about 2/3 of a cup of cocoa, about a cup of sugar and increase the fat (butter or oil) by about 1/3 cup. For 1 cup chips, just take half of each of those measurements.

Can I use just a real egg instead of substitute?And if I can then how many eggs?

[bettyskitchen]

@110cottoncandy Yes, 2 whole eggs will be fine.

Would it be bad to use confectioner's sugar instead of regular sugar in this recipe?

[bettyskitchen]

@doesnotFempute I think the confectioner's sugar will work out fine.

@balletdancer247 The original recipe calls for 2 eggs. Since the batter cooks on the outside, but not all the way through to the center, I know that some people worry about that. Egg substitute is pasteurized and solves the problem. However, I personally don't have a problem with using real eggs.
