This cake was great! My son is on a gluten free diet so I just substituted a rice flour/potato starch flour blend for the regular flour. He was so happy!

    I made this recipe to go with my homemade Baileys ice cream and it was PERFECT! I used a muffin tin with foil liners and Pam baking spray with sugar to coat them. Served with a small scoop of Baileys ice cream and a splash of homemade Baileys on top - - absolutely to-die-for! Thank you Miss Erin - you contributed to my best Easter dessert ever!

    I put these into (lightly spray-coated & sugared) cupcake papers and baked them in a cupcake pan and they came out wonderfully. My favorite add-on is a dallop of cherry parfait -(canned cherry pie filling folded into 1 cup of whipped cream)... No such thing as a dessert that is too decadent when chocolate is involved!

    I wanted to make Chocolate Lava Cake for a friend of mine because it is his favorite. After researching other very complicated recipes, I decided to try this one. Everyone loved it so much that I don't think I will ever try another recipe! One tip... let the ramikins cool a little bit and run a knife around the edge to make them easier to get out. I served these with raspberry sauce on the bottom of the plate, dusted with powdered sugar and fresh raspberries and mint leaves on top. It was a goumet dessert without the effort! Thanks for a great recipe!
