Chocolate Lava Cake

May 18th, 2011

For someone who’s passionate about almost every kind of dessert, I’m impressed that I can actually narrow down a favorite. But then again, chocolate molten cake is about as perfect a dish you can imagine. It’s pure decadence, but in an appealingly compact size that’s seductive and rich. I followed this recipe and immediately decided it’s my new go-to dessert for dinner parties. It took mere minutes to make and since the insides are supposed to be undercooked, it’s nearly impossible to mess up.

    That looks really yummy.. Since I wanted to bake, I did the recipe above and it was going great until I had to take it out the oven.. :( The tray was sooooo hot that I freaked out and grabbed it with my other hand without thinking and now have 2 burns. But Im okay and ate the one that didn’t hit the floor. It. was. lovely.

    I love to bake! I use “Xocai Healthy Chocolate” in my recipes that call for “Chocolate chips.”
    Xocai is full of “heart healthy antioxidants” and can actually help me “lose a few pounds,” which is something that comes in handy when I am a full fledged “chocoholic!”

    I find it so hard to narrow down my favourite dessert to one, but this would come close. It is very simular to my chocolate fondant recipe which is always a winner. Looks delicious..

    This is my favorite dessert as well. It’s quite funny to see that you used the exact same white cups as we did to make them (and I live a couple of thousand km’s away…). :)

    I tried making this tonight… it didn’t look as good as yours (did you get it right on the first try?), however, the taste was still unbeatable. :- )

    Cheers,
