Could someone tell me how many approx. ounces the each cup of the jumbo muffin holds? I have a jumbo muffin tin, but this recipe is way too small to fill even three of of the cups in my pan.

Excellent! I just made this for a dinner party. I made it a day ahead of time which reallly saved me time. I used 4 ramekins vreses the jumbo muffin tins and just kept and eye on the cooking time. They turned out wonderfully. I topped them with rasberries and whipped cream. I can't wait to make them again. Thankyou sharing this! -
I've had other molten cakes that seemed to fail in the center without any lava BUT not this one! This is FABULOUS and SCRUMPTIOUS! Worked out perfectly in the jumbo muffin cups. Instead of the cool whip I served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and fresh strawberries since these were made as a treat for DD's birthday! Thanks for sharing this recipe! I'll be making these again since they are so easy. Made for Adopt A Tag II Sept 2008.

Amazing! I omitted the nuts. I think I'll try a darker chocolate next time for a little richer flavor. But honestly, it was great as is! Thanks for the recipe! -
Are you kidding me? These are crazy delicious!! Exactly what a molten cake should be! After inverting it onto a plate, I drizzled it generously with melted chocolate mint chips, dusted with icing sugar and topped it with whip cream. YUM!! Thank goodness there aren't any calories on the weekend! -
Excellent recipe! These turned out so rich and gooey. I used a 70% dark chocolate in place of baking chocolate and served with whipped cream, blackberries and raspberries. Yummy! Thanks 2Bleu!
