Melting Chocolate Cake (From Carnival Cruise Lines)

Submitted by loganisle

"Absolutely one of the FINEST chocolate desserts I've ever eaten. I even repeated our visit to the dining room just so I could have another go at this dessert before we got off the boat. Carnival passed this recipe out in the dining room the last night of the cruise and I'm SOOO happy they did!"

Melt chocolate and butter; cool 10 minutes. <br/><br/>In separate bowl, mix 4 eggs with sugar. Whisk. Add flour and whisk. Add remaining 3 eggs. Add egg mixture to chocolate mixture. Pour in individual baking cups or ramekins. <br/><br/>Bake until just done, about 15-20 minutes (interior will be melting, not set). <br/><br/>Serve with vanilla ice cream.<br/><br/>Makes 8 servings.

Just like being on the boat! Thanks! (It would be helpful to have the amounts listed in "cups" as well as ounces, too.)

I've just got to try this again soon. I cooked it for 18 minutes and that was too long. Nothing melting left. All cooked like brownie. Ate it anyway and it was good, but I really want to recreate that delicious cruise ship dessert!

Tried this recipe. Baked for 15 mins, and it was way too cakey. Not melty at all. And the taste is also off. Not sweet enough, and probably should use dark semisweet chocolate.

Went on a carnival cruise a few weeks ago, this desert was amazing! This recipe not so much. I cooked it for 16 minutes and it was completely cooked - no melty in the middle at all.
