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!
