wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.. what else is there to say about this recipe! In the "What's Cooking Magazine" the instructions said to serve 1/2 cake.. How on earth do you cut a molton cake in half?? Besides why would you want only 1/2?? I cooked 2 one night and saved the other 2 in fridge for the next night. Perfect both ways! I will keep this recipe and serve it often! Angie

We did like this dessert. But we all thought that it was way too chocolaty for us. Next time i will cut the chocolate just about in half. If you don't like chocolate this isn't the recipie for you. But we loved the melted centers, the texture and everything else!! It is a good dessert.

My family just loved these, I used muffin cups because I don't have custard cups so there was some difficulty getting them out, but it was worth it. They are very rich and taste great right out of the oven topped with vanilla ice cream.
