directions

  • Make sauce:

  • Bring cream to a boil in a 1-quart saucepan, then pour hot cream over chocolate and sugar in a bowl, gently whisking until smooth.
  • Mix in Amaretto.
  • Keep warm or at room temperature.
  • Make griddle cakes:

  • Sift together cocoa, cinnamon, flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl.
  • Whisk in eggs, yolk, buttermilk, oil, and vanilla until combined well.
  • Heat a griddle or nonstick skillet over moderately low heat and lightly coat with butter.
  • Working in batches of 2 or 3, pour 1/3 cup batter per cake onto hot griddle and cook until bubbles appear on surface, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Flip cakes with a large spatula and cook until tops spring back when pressed gently, about 1 minute more.
  • Transfer to a plate and loosely cover with foil to keep warm.
  • Add 1/2 teaspoon butter to griddle between batches.
  • Serve cakes in stacks, topped with chocolate sauce.

  1. ABSOLUTELY GREAT CAKES! Of course, that comes from a dedicated chocoholic, but still . . . I did leave out the Amaretto when making the sauce, but that didn't distract from a wonderful, tasty chocolate fix! Will certainly be making these again & again!

  2. These were really good and very chocolate-y! They are like fluffy fudgey molten brownie pancakes. I decreased the cinnamon (DH"S preference) and the sugar by 2 tablespoons. I also subbed half the oil as applesauce, and did not make the chocolate sauce. It is so rich, you don't really need any sauce!
