I picked this to make because of it's name! I hope it doesn't give nature any ideas..anyway. It was an instant hit with the boys. They mentioned it wasn't pretty, but it was VERY tasty. (Anyone else have a hard time frosting cakes?) Needless to say I had the oven light on and I had fun watching it cook. I thought of volcanos! It bubbles and quakes. I did find that next time I make this I will keep the sugar/cream cheese/ butter mixture away from the edges. Makes it not so crusty on the edges. So good..gonna go have a piece now!Reply

Chocolate, my favorite! And a bit of ooey, gooey goodness inside. This will be made several times at my house. Kids loved it, heck, we all did. When turned upside down on plate to serve, it is pretty to give it a light dusting or sprinkle of powdered sugar. That is, IF the plate isn't snatched up as soon as the cake hits it.Reply
