Molten Lava Cake
Chocolate lovers, you're in for a treat.
If you've never tried a chocolate molten lava cake, you do not know what your missing. I first tried this to-die-for cake at the Chart House in Weekhawken, NJ (which, by the way is a really nice restaurant) on my birthday. My friends had me wait for thirty minutes in anticipation for my surprise: a tiny little cake with a candle in it.
I thought to myself, "what the hell?" I'm not paying nine bucks for this.
Oh how quickly my mind changed when I cut the cake with my heavy knife and watched as the molten chocolate (hence molten lava cake) meandered its way through the tiny crevices of the decadent cake and onto the white plate. The entire dessert was still hot. The godiva chocolate used to make the cake just melted so smoothly in my mouth. It was fabulous.
But guess what, it doesn't take $9 and a trip to Weehawken to experience the delight. Ever since that night, I have been practicing making this very cake and, thanks to a youtube video, I have discovered the sacred recipe.
YOU MUST TRY THIS!
Geneve does an amazing job, these cakes are extraordinary. I made them for my family and friends and they were extremely impressed (good thing they dont know about this youtube video).
If you dont have ramekins, use cupcake molds. That is what I used and they came out just as great.
ENJOY! and tell me what you think =]
