  1. Wow! Definitley a great chocolate 'fix'! They are light, and yet extremely chocolatey. I didn't have any other chocolate, so used Dove Dark pieces. The whipped cream is a wonderful addition. My regular size muffin tins could have made more than 8 cakes if I filled each 3/4 of the way. I buttered 8 so just went with it and over-filled them a bit, but it turned out just fine. Any choco-holics out there really need to try this one!
     
  2. These are awesome! They are super simple to make, but taste amazing. They are somehow both light and rich, and they're altogether delicious. I halved the recipe without a problem and made 5 cakes.

I am born & bred in Montreal & love this city. One of the most muti-cultural cities in North America, the mixture of French & English heritage make Montreal a great place to live & visit, especially during summer.
