LOVED this. Added a tsp. of cinnamon and it added that extra flavor found in molten cakes at restaurants. Have made again and again with sweet success each time!

One of the best desserts I have ever made and here's why: First of all, it's super easy! Second, you can make the batter ahead (up to 24 hours) so it's great to prepare before a dinner party. Third, it's absolutely decadent and will impress all of your dinner guests. They will think you work magic in the kitchen!

This couldn't have been easier and they came out perfect. I only made two and just divided the recipe in half and baked for 10 mins. Definitely making again!

Does the recipe need to be adjusted in any way for high altitude? I live at 7200 feet above sea level. Thank you.

Most custard cups are 6 oz. (3/4 cup). I've made other molten cakes, but I plan to try this recipe soon, based upon all the great reviews.
