These are fabulous. I love them as is, but my kids tend to prefer all semisweet. I have even made these smaller and shortened the cooking time. Also they freeze well, but defrost in micro carefully or it will not be molten, although still yummy. Great served with coffee ice cream or yogurt, and some fresh berries.

Does any one know if I can make a full sized cake a molten lava cake? As in a normal sized birthday cake, would I be able to make it a lava cake? Thanks for your help.
