Since my husband is going to the Dominican Republic for 10 days and my 30th birthday falls within that time, we decided to celebrate a week early. He actually made me cake this year (the first time in 10 years of marriage)! The cake was really rich and so chocolatey. I had mine with raspberry sauce and dulce de leche Hagen Daz. We ate the leftover cakes the next day cold and they were still delicious. PetShopgirl asked Beau Brummel to make these for her birthday as well.
I have actually made my own birthday cake a few times and that just stinks! So I was naturally thrilled about this.

Molten Chocolate cakes are delicious! Fortunately for us, the local Costco carries them frozen. You just bake them at home. Mmmmmm... I think I have some in the freezer for tonight.
Our nearest Costco is in Harrisburg, an hour away. I think the ones in the recipe aren't too complicated though.
