I'm not a fan of chocolate, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The cakes were very good, and I especially liked the raspberry coulis.

These cakes were so rich and decadent! I loved the gooey chocolate center and the crispy outer layer. I would definitely make them again.

I had a hard time finding ramekins that were the right size, so I used muffin tins instead. The cakes still turned out great, but they were a bit flatter than I would have liked.

These cakes were a bit too sweet for me, but other than that they were very good. I would try using a different type of chocolate next time.

I tried this recipe and the cakes were a bit too gooey for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of butter next time.

These cakes were delicious! I made them for my family and they loved them. The only thing I would change is that I would add a little more chocolate to the batter.
