Mini Chocolate Lava Cakes

Yet another stolen recipe from Susannah Prince...Mini Chocolate Lava Cakes. SO easy to make and SO delicious:


Here's what you'll need:
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
3/4 cup butter, cut into pieces
3 (4ounce) bars semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 1/4 cups egg substitute*
3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
Powdered Sugar
Here's what you'll do:

Brush 16 muffin pans with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with cocoa, shaking out excess. Place in the fridge to firm butter.
Place 3/4 cup butter and chocolate in a large heavy saucepan. When all is melted (stir often), slowly whisk in whipping cream; set aside.
Combine egg sub. and sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for 5-7 minutes or until slightly thickened.; add chocolate cream mix and flour, beating until blended. Pour batter into muffin cups, filling within 1/4" from tops. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour up to 24 hours. <-- this is essential.
Bake at 450 for 10 to 11 minutes or just until edges of cake spring back when lightly touched, but centers are still soft.
Let stand for 3 minutes before loosening edges with a knife. Quickly invert the cakes onto a baking sheet. Then transfer to dessert plates using a soft spatula.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar, or top with a dollop of whipped cream and a few fresh raspberries :)

I actually took pictures of this one and although they didn't look quite as aesthetically appealing as Susannah's, my lava cakes were thoroughly enjoyed.

**why make a list when you've got skin & a Sharpie?**

**that bowl was licked clean within seconds of filling the pans...**

**finished product! I was in a hurry...otherwise I would've made it look better. but there it is**
