Cooking Therapy Intention Setting: Set your cooking therapy intention before you begin. Repeat to yourself before you begin cooking, “as I enter my kitchen, I embrace cooking as my therapy. With every step I am empowering my life.”
Personal Intention: Now you will preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Grease the inside bottom and sides of two 5-ounce ramekins with butter. Then place about 1 teaspoon granulated sugar in each and shake the sugar around so it sticks to the butter on the bottom and sides of the ramekins. Shake out any remaining sugar. During this step I want you to decide you are ready, open, and worthy of receiving the love of your life. Decide that this recipe is the first step to setting it into motion that this love will find you. Set this intention before you move any further.
Melt Down your Concerns-Place chocolate chips and butter together in a bowl and melt them down in the microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power. You must do this slowly to make sure you don’t burn the chocolate. Burned chocolate cannot be used. Stir and heat an additional 15 seconds if needed. Stir until smooth. There is nothing to worry about. This is a smooth and effortless process. Melting chocolate and finding your love.
Whisk in Your Worthiness- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the whole egg, yolk, sugar, vanilla, and salt together until pale in color. Mix in the melted chocolate. Add the flour and mix until just combined. Careful not to overmix. As you whisk the batter, imagine stirring in all the love, passion, and joy you want in your relationship. Say out loud 10 things you love about yourself—because self-love is magnetic. Say them! Don’t skip this step!
Pour with Intention- When you pour the batter into the ramekins, visualize your ideal partner walking into your life with ease. Imagine how they make you feel—safe, adored, and excited. Pour batter into the ramekins doing your cooking therapy step.
Bake Up Your Ideal Love- Place in the oven directly on the middle rack and bake for 11-12 minutes until the top is set but the cake still jiggles in the middle (you don't want to cook the lava!) This is super important! As the cake bakes, write down (or say out loud) 5 qualities you want in your partner. What would be your ideal, non negotiable, traits you are looking for in a partner. Then affirm out loud 3 times: “I allow love to flow to me with ease, joy, and excitement.”
The Sweet Reveal Ritual- Let the cake sit for 1-2 minutes. Run a sharp knife along the sides of the cake to ensure it comes out perfectly. Invert the cake onto a plate by placing a plate upside down on top of the cake. With hot pads on, flip the cake so that the plate is on the bottom and the cake is upside down on top. Very fancy. Leave it for 20 seconds, give the bottom of the ramekin a couple of pats and then lift it straight up.
Sprinkle With Joy- Dust the cakes with powdered sugar and garnish with berries and ice cream.When you cut into the cake and see the molten center, see it as a symbol of love flowing effortlessly into your life.
