I found this in Paula's New Magazine. I felt it would be great for a Valentine's dinner. Paula says this cake is great alone, but it can be topped with vanilla ice cream or a raspberry sauce. The recipe can be made ahead and refrigerated for 2 to 3 days.

    Preheat oven to 425°F Grease 6 (6-ounce) custard cups.

    Very yummy, chocolatey dessert! It was very easy to make. I used 8 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of the chocolate squares and left the Grand Marnier out. It still turned out great. We didn't have any ice cream, I am sure it would have been great with it! Just like a hot fudge sundae.

    I made this for my husband on Valentine's Day and he loved it (as did the kids). Substituted 8-oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, used four whole eggs and omitted the Grand Marnier. Baked in six large silicone muffin cups for 14 min. They were easy to remove after cooling for 5 min or so. The centers were wonderfully gooey. Served with a drizzle of raspberry sauce on the side. Great recipe! This is definitely going in the family recipe book.
