Chocolate cakes with liquid centers

"Made this recipe in a baking class years ago. It's so sinful. When you take your first bite, the liquid center oozes out and makes its own sauce. I serve this with a strawberry coulis and a dab of creme fraiche."

  1. This truly came out fantastic. I needed twelve portions for a dinner party, when looking at the recipe and quantities, I thought doubling the recipe would be way too much, so I did 1.5 times the ingredients and out of that quantity is was able to make 14 beautiful 1/3C ramekins. That is plenty big because this is a really rich dessert. Due to the quantity I baked them for 7 min. I did line the bottom of the cups with parchment paper. They came out really easy. Delicious.
     
  2. Oh wow! This is unbelievably good, and easy to make besides. The sauce comes out just right: thick and chocolatey and totally out of this world. I used chocolate with 48% cocoa, and it worked beautifully. I had a little bit of trouble getting some of the cakes to come out of the ramekins intact, so next time I'm going to try lining the bottom with baking paper.
     
  3. an elegant dessert for guests, i served this with fresh raspberries and whipped cream. my guests were oohing and aahing. i am only sorry that they were all eaten before i could take a photo.
