Molten Chocolate Cake

Submitted by Reddyrat

"This is a wonderfully easy and sinfully rich recipe. I found it in Bon Appetit magazine. Next time I think I'll try adding a teaspoon of vanilla to the batter before baking it. It's delicious served with ice cream. I recommend cooking it only until set - I prefer it to be very runny."
