ALMOST-FAMOUS MOLTEN CHOCOLATE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Make the cakes: Brush four 1 1/4-cup brioche molds (or use 10-ounce ramekins or jumbo muffin cups) with the 2 tablespoons melted butter. Dust the molds with cocoa powder and tap out the excess.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a small bowl. Bring the milk and 3/4 cup water to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat; set aside.
• Combine the vegetable oil, 4 tablespoons room-temperature butter and the sugar in a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down the bowl and beater as needed. Add 1/2 cup cocoa powder and the vanilla; beat 1 minute on medium speed. Scrape down the bowl. Add 1 egg and beat 1 minute on medium-low speed, then add the remaining egg and beat 1 more minute.
• With the mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the flour mixture, then the hot milk mixture. Finish mixing the batter with a rubber spatula until combined. Divide the batter evenly among the molds, filling each slightly more than three-quarters of the way.
• Transfer the molds to a baking sheet and bake until the tops of the cakes are domed and the centers are just barely set, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack; let the cakes cool until they pull away from the molds, about 30 minutes.

CHILI'S WHITE CHOCOLATE MOLTEN CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare your cake mix as directed on box. Prepare a bundt cake pan with cooking spray.
• Bake as directed. Let you cake cool just a little -- you want to serve it warm. Now, if you want to be really creative, you can slice your cake so that you can fill it with the white morsels that you will be melting. We haven't worried about being that creative yet.
• So we melt the white morsels in the microwave just enough to warm them, stir them & spread over each cake slice. Scoop your desired amount of ice cream (we like Publix vanilla) & place it on your cake slice. Drizzle with Raspberry sauce & if you like, you can use a vegetable peeler & grate some vanilla bark to sprinkle over the top. Enjoy!
• You can use your judgement on the white morsels, vanilla ice cream, raspberry sauce & vanilla bark to suit your taste.
