Exotic Molten Chocolate Cake
We love dessert, but when it's just the two of us a whole cake or pan of brownies is just too much, so we make molten chocolate cake. Enter this great recipe that only produces two portions. Depending on how long you cook these the texture will vary from a molten lava interior, to something very cake like. Here, we are making a molten chocolate cake so its made faster because we bake it for lesser time.
