Molten chocolate lava cake

 Oh!!!  this  is  a very  yummy  cake  and  heaven for all  chocolate lovers. This  cake  has  a  runny chocolate inside  and  was  my all time  favorite. I used to  eat  a lot in  CCD (cafe coffee day) @ Bangalore. This   goes  best  when  served  warm  with cold plain vanilla  ice cream. Wow!!!,  this  is  really very  tempting  and I bet, you  cannot  resist  it . I  never  ever  thought i will bake this  cake at home. Applause to me!!!!!!,   that was  a  super  hit  at  home  and   with all my  friends . Today  on occasion  of our  fourth anniversary, i made this  cake  and  served to all my friends. i was  on cloud nine  when i  received the comments for the cake. The  recipe  of  it is  from a  famous  cooking website show me the curry and  and  blog i follow edible  garden. Thanks  to them.

This  is   third  time  in a  row  that  i am trying this recipe , first  time  i baked,  it  was a  super duper  hit.  Being very  enthusiastic  with all the praises i  got,i made couple of mistakes in my second try and went  into  drains ,   First  was to use the  wrong chocolate , i used the bitter  chocolate for the  semi sweet once, this  was  not a  delibrate mistake  but  was side  effects  of being  over enthusiastic,  i picked the  wrong packet  from the  freezer. and  second  one  is  i  baked it  for almost 20 mins , end  result was a  completely bitter  chocolate  cake  which was  no good. Learn from  my  mistake plzzzzzzz will u?
