I printed this recipe in early 2008. My apologies for not having reviewed it until now. This has become my go to dessert recipe! Have tried many other lava cake recipes but always come back to this one! Sometimes I add a bit of Vanilla or a bit of Espresso just to mix it up a bit. My favourite way to serve is with whipped cream and fresh raspberries. A good vanilla ice cream is also nice. Thank you for an oft used and much loved recipe!

WOW! Such an easy chocolate lovers dream come true! Love how the warm innards ooze out when the cake shell is broken. Definitely so rich that it needs ice cream to accompany this truly decadent dessert. Thanks for posting!

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!
