    If I could give this recipe 10 stars i would!!!!!! Seriously IF you follow the directions to a T there should be no reason why these dont come out excactly like they're suppose to. The only thing I did [following reviews] was put the chocolate filled ramekins in a baking dish filled half way with water. I'm not sure if that was the reason they were so moist but regardless they were PERFECT. I will be making these A LOT! Way to go Paula, you never steer me wrong!


    They did need a few extra minutes cooking time, I think that was due to the water in the baking dish. I checked them after 13 minutes and they needed an additional 7-8 minutes at 425.

    I tried this recipe tonight for the first time and can I just say...Yum Yum Yummy! Athough, I do have something of a tragedy on my hands. After reading the comments and finding out that some reviewers suggested baking in a bain marie (water bath, I went ahead and baked my cakes in a water bath. Well, at 14 mins the edges had already firmed up and I thought it was safe to take them out. Boy was I wrong! I waited for the cakes to cool a bit and upon inverting them discovered that although the top edges were cooked, the bottom and sides weren't so my lava came spilling out. I figure it was because I baked in a water bath so next time I will try this recipe sans water bath. Although they didn't quite look the way I wanted them to, they tasted divine (and I left out the orange liqueur.

    I enjoyed this recipe a lot. I bake it for my family members and they loved it too. I've baked it for them several times, and it's perfect because they are gluten-free. This recipe isn't so easy or cheep, but it's worth it. I do not recommend this to beginners.

    This was a waste of good chocolate & eggs! It came out too dry, gritty and flavorless with a barely gooey center.

    I've made lava cakes many, many times but wanted a recipe that used less eggs so I thought I'd give this one try. How disappointing!! No lava and a cake that was gritty. I'm going back to the Neely's recipe, even though it uses a dozen eggs.

    Exceptional, came out just as expected!

    Made these for a weeknight dessert, quick and simple.

    Changed just a couple of things. Added 1-Tbs premium Dutch Cocoa Powder to flour/sugar mix, and filled (5 8 oz. ramakins. Baked in a hot water bath, I think that is where others go wrong and why theirs come out dry and no goo. Mine were perfect, soft cake on exterior and warm gooey centers. Let cool 10 min. Inverted on plate and finished with a homemade caramel sauce and a dollop of whipped cream. To say the least the family was nearly licking the plates clean.

    A real winner.....
