Molten Mocha!

Anyone, who knows anything about me, knows that I love to bake!! I often look for reasons to bake something, but with Allison being around as much as she is, I don't have to come up with a reason on my own anymore. She is more than willing to come up with something that she has been "dying" to have or simply "has to try."

One of Allison's favorite desserts is the Lava Cake that Olive Garden use to have on the menu. A couple of months ago she ordered one to go, so that she could eat it later. Only to find that when she returned home, it had already been eaten. Her Papaw, thought it was for him, and enjoyed every last bite of it. And although he enjoyed it tremendously at the time, he felt equally as bad later when he found out that it was Allison's dessert, that she had been looking forward to eating all day!!! So, a few days later, Allison returned to Olive Garden to finally get her dessert she had been longing for, only to find that it is no longer on the menu!!!!!

After all of this, you can only imagine her excitement, when she found out that I had a recipe for a similiar cake. So after several days of being too busy to bake these Molten Mocha Chocolate Cakes aka Lava Cakes, we finally set aside time to bake them after school today.  They turned out wonderful and had a little more coffee flavor than the ones at Olive Garden, which is more than okay with me. However, even though I may be known to have a sweet tooth, these cakes were a little rich even for me. I was only able to eat about half.....with Cole's help!



As delicious as it may have been, I too feel the remorse that my father in-law felt for having ate it. Now I have to go work off all those unwanted, yet delicious calories that I simply could not resist!
