Delicious and simple dessert. I worry about the gooey center and having egg in the batter. Is this safe to eat?

Wow! I also left the coffee out of this recipe and it was absolutely wonderful! If you like chocolate, you will love this. I was shocked how easy it was to make and how fancy it seemed to everyone.

Simply wonderful! I made them in a muffin pan and reduced the time slightly. Worked like a charm. While you HAVE to serve these cakes warm, I was able to re-heat the extras for 30 seconds in the microwave. The lava was not quite the same as the day before, they were still very good.

This was the first time I have ever attempted to make this dessert. I have had it at some restaurants. This was a text book recipe. It came out looking and tasting absolutely wonderful. Made it for my honey on Valentines Day.

VERY GOOD! I WAS GOING TO LEAVE OUT THE COFFEE, GLAD I DIDN'T. VERY EASY TO MAKE. WILL DEFINITELY MAKE AGAIN, AND AGAIN!! MAY TAKE A LITTLE PRACTICE AS NOT TO OVER BAKE AND TO GET OUT OF THE DISH, BUT WELL WORTH THE EFFORT! I DIDN'T HAVE RAMEKINS SO I USED A MUFFIN PAN (STONE WARE). JUST THE RIGHT SIZE, IF YOUR WATCHING YOUR WAIST LINE! IV'E BEEN WANTING TO MAKE THESE AND THIS ONE IS IT, THANKS!!!
