I heart chocolate. That is no lie. And I am sure most all of you can say the same thing 🙂 I mean it’s CHOCOLATE, come on!
For all you chocolate lovers out there, I present to you a heaping helping of chocolate bliss!
Fudgy filled chocolaty heart shaped cakes for you and your cupid 🙂
This chocolate lava cake is without a doubt irresistible.
The centers of these moist, delectable treats are oozing with sweetness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Heart shaped ramekins, dusted with granulated sugar~
Chocolate + butter = a fabulous start to lava cake batter~
Add the eggs and mix up the batter and pour into ramekins~
I baked these in little heart shaped ramekins and when they were removed, they had this heart imprinted on them!
Look at that moist, gooey and smooth center~
It is definitely mouth hug worthy!
