It is always fun to serve individual cakes to family and friends.  These little cakes are great for brunches, or dessert bars.  And the kids, both the little ones and the big ones, love their own little cakes.  The Chocolate Molten Cakes are turned upside down on serving plates and served warm.  The little Fruit Topped Cheesecakes are very portable in their own little paper cups.  Whether you prefer the warm chocolate or the cool cheesecake, you are sure to enjoy your own mini cake.


INDIVIDUAL MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CUSTARD CUP CAKES

1/3 cup butter, cubed
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3 squares (1-oz each) semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 eggs
7 egg whites
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Place the butter, cocoa, and chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture at 50% power for 20 seconds; stir until smooth. Add the eggs, egg whites, confectioners' sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Stir the mixture to mix well. Stir in flour and salt until blended. Pour into seven 6-ounce custard cups that have been coated with nonstick cooking spray. Place custard cups on a baking sheet. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until a thermometer inserted near the center reads 160 degrees. Remove from the oven and let stand for 1 minute. Run a knife around the edge of the custard cups and invert onto individual dessert plates. Serve immediately.



FRUIT TOPPED TINY CHEESECAKES

CRUST:
1 cup Graham cracker crumbs
2 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp butter, melted

FILLING:
1 cup sugar
2 tbsp lemon juice
3 pkgs (8-oz)cream cheese, softened
3 eggs
2 tsp vanilla

TOPPING:
1 can (21-oz) fruit pie filling of your choice ie cherry, peach, strawberry, blueberry

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake liners; set aside.

In a mixing bowl, combine the Graham cracker crumbs, the 2 tablespoons of sugar, and the butter. Divide the mixture evenly among the lined muffin tins and press the crumbs to form a solid layer in each cupcake liner. Bake for 3 to 5 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool completely.

Reduce oven heat to 325 degrees.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the 1 cup of sugar and continue to beat until smooth. Scrape the inside of the bowl to be all the mixture is in the bowl. Reduce the speed to low and add the eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla; mix just to incorporate. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full with the cream cheese mixture. Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. Top with the fruit filling and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Enjoy!

    Delicious espresso chocolate brownie paired with espresso chocolate pudding. A miracle happens when you bake this. All the liquid sinks to the bottom and forms a creamy pudding. The batter rises to the top and forms a cake like brownie. Yum!

    I've always enjoyed eating pudding and I thought of making one myself (for the very first time). But I wanted to make a no bake pudding. So I decided on making a frozen one and I tried it out and it came out so good! I can feel the taste right now as I'm writing this blog!! So sharing with all of you, the recipe to a "Coconut Pudding". It'll just take an hour.

    I often have people ask me why I like old fashion recipes so much. Seems many people think an old fashion recipe is a complicated one. Nothing could be further from the truth. Old-time housewives and cooks were busy people, too. In fact they were as busy, if not more so, than many of us are today. They often worked at difficult tasks from sun-up to sundown. Here you will find recipes that are easy but make delicious old fashion food!

    An old fashion cake bar is a great way to entertain family and/or friends on a tight budget. Make out a guest list and based on that list choose the types of cake you will feature. Coffee cakes, cheesecakes, cup cakes, sheet cakes, layer cakes, diabetic cakes, etc. all work well. Offer a variety of teas, coffees, lemonade, etc and enjoy a fun time over good cake and conversation.
