molten chocolate cake


Alrighty, so the restaurant Chili's has the amazing Chocolate Molten Cake. Remember--that's the cake that is chocolate cake with a lava flow of hot fudge in the center, and then a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and the hard shell chocolate sauce on the ice cream and over the cake.

Needless to say---It is sooooooo good!

But how can you make it at home?
I found a few ideas online and this is what I put together
one chocolate cake ( I made mine from a box of devils food and made it into cupcakes. if you had a Texas size cupcake holders it would be better, but regular muffin size is good too.
1 jar of hot fudge ice cream topping (warm in microwave. watch carefully though because it can go all over and hence the mess on my face a few posts earlier.
vanilla ice cream
chocolate sauce. you can buy magic shell or make it by taking chocolate chips (1 bag) with 3 tablespoons of butter over a double boiler. Melt until smooth.


After cakes have cooled, cut a hole in the top and fill with fudge sauce until it is up to the top. Around a tablespoon.
after filling each cake. Place in freezer, for at least 2 hours. then when ready to eat place in microwave for about 30 seconds, or until hot. scoop ice cream over top and then chocolate sauce or magic shell. The butter in the sauce causes it to harden when cold, you can use magic shell very easily though, it has too many chemicals in it for me, but it does the job.
