Kraft Kitchens Tips

Size-Wise

Very chocolaty with warm fudgy centers, these cakes are the perfect dessert for your next special occasion.

Make Ahead

Batter can be made the day ahead; pour into prepared custard cups. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate. When ready to serve, uncover and bake as directed.

Variation

If you don't have custard cups, you can still make this delicious dessert. Prepare batter as directed, then spoon evenly into 8 greased medium muffin pan cups. Bake 14 to 15 min. or until cakes are firm around edges but soft in the centers. Continue as directed.

I didn't make this exact recipe. I made the Baker's Chocolate recipe in the 2006 holiday issue and it was to die for. The only difference between this recipe and the one I made was there were no raspberries or mocha added..So sweet, rich and decandent! Extremely fattening but what a treat!

The recipe does not tell you how you get the chocolate in the center of the cake. <<< Response from Kraft Kitchens Expert, Wendy ~ The chocolate is not put into the center. As the chocolate batter bakes, the outside becomes the cake portion while the center remains soft and "molten". >>>

These cakes were very delicous even though I don 't to much care for chocolate. I subed the mocha for french vanilla and added vanilla extract and it came out good. but next time i'll cook for about 14 minutes

This was so quick and easy but it looked like it took a lot of time and energy. It tasted fabulous! This is one of my new favorites.

Simple and tastes as good as restaurant-style molten cakes!
