nycfloridian's Note:

Many of us are familiar with this dessert. It's my own version i came up with after trying multiple times, looking for the correct flavor. This delicious chocolate cake like brownie tops a molten sea of fudge sauce goodness!

This 'molten lava' type cake was fabulous! Really enjoyed it warm and cold and ala mode! When dishing this up, I used the sauce from the bottom of the dish to top the ice cream. I will most certainly be making this again! Thanks so much for sharing, nycfloridian.

I did not read nycfloridian's description before I made this. So I was pleasantly surprised when I cut the brownie and found all the chocolate sauce on the bottom. I inverted a piece of cake onto a plate and spooned more sauce on the side. I sure wish I had a little ice cream to top it. This was made for Preemie Care Center during Fall 2011 PAC
