CHOCOLATE MELTING CAKE
We discovered this dessert on Carnival Cruise lines, but the measurements were in odd sizes. We revised this to work with standard purchase sizes, AND changed from fresh eggs to pasteurized eggs, since the recipe does not fully cook the eggs in the center of the dessert. If you follow the directions exactly, this dessert is as easy as it is delciious. Note that it can be made ahead and held in the refrigerator until you are ready to finish and serve it, so it's perfect for entertaining.

Our cruise waiter gave us the recipe for this "OH-SO-LUCIOUS" dessert that was a favorite at everyone at our table. The measurements sound a little strange but all the women worked on converting it from the oz measurements to cups, etc. Now you don't have to wait for your next cruise to have some.

Tips for Making the Perfect Chocolate Melting Cake:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of the cake. Opt for a high-quality dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough, dense cake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the cake in a water bath: Baking the cake in a water bath helps to create a moist, tender cake. Place the cake pan inside a larger pan filled with hot water.
- Let the cake cool completely before serving: The cake will continue to cook as it cools, so it's important to let it cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent the cake from falling apart.
- Serve the cake with your favorite toppings: Chocolate melting cake is delicious on its own, but you can also serve it with a variety of toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
Conclusion:
Chocolate melting cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It's the perfect cake for a special occasion or a simple weeknight treat. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can easily make a chocolate melting cake that will impress your friends and family.
