oh wow. soo yummy. i made these for my choco-holic boyfriend's bday last night. i made the batter the night before (added a dash of vanilla and maybe a tsp. of instant coffee granules to enhance chocolate flavor. i also increased the sugar by about a tablespoon as i used VERY dark and slightly bitter chocolate) and poured it into greased, floured standard muffin tins, covered w/foil, & stuck it in the fridge. i cheated and poured one cakes worth into a seperate muffin tin & baked it off the night before just to get the timing/temp right since i wasn't using the extra-large muffin liners. it came out overdone at 8 min/450 degrees. the chocolate almost tasted burnt and the inside was kind of an icky eggy texture. with that in mind, last night i took them out of the fridge for about 30 min just to take a bit of the chill off.. i wanted them to stay cool though so that the inside would take longer to bake to achieve the "molten" texture. i ended up baking them at 425 for about 7 1/2-8 minutes. took them out and immediately popped them out of the tin. i had no problems getting them out by running a paring knife around the perimeter and using a tiny offset spatula to help them out and onto a plate. i served them with barely sweetened whipped cream and fresh raspberries. i didn't bother with the sugar on the berries as the ones i found were already really sweet. long story short, the key is to NOT OVERBAKE these. the texture suffers and they almost become inedible. take them out bef
