Our Anniversary Tradition: Chocolate Melting Cake

Six years ago today My Farmer and I said "I do".  We had a beautiful wedding and a fun reception with many family and friends by our side.

After exchanging our vows

At the end of our 1st night as Mr. & Mrs.

Following our wedding we took a cruise along the western side of Mexico.  While on our cruise we fell in love with the cruise boat's Chocolate Melting Cake.  We had it almost nightly while on the boat.  So as soon as we got back I knew I had to recreate the cake so we could have it at home.  I make the cake now for our anniversary, My Farmer's birthday, Valentine's Day and any other special occasion, or if I'm really craving chocolate!

So here's to six sweet years of marriage!

Chocolate Melting Cake for Two

2 squares semi-sweet baker's chocolate

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 egg

1 egg yolk

3 Tbsp flour

Butter two souffle cups and place on baking sheet.

Microwave chocolate and butter on High for 1 minute or until melted.  Stir with wire whisk.  Blend in egg and egg yolk.  Stir in powdered sugar and flour.  Divide between prepared custard cups.

Bake at 425 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until sides are firm but centers are soft.  Let stand 1 minute.  Serve immediately topped with ice cream of whipped topping.

Take them out when the middles are still soft but the outsides are firm

Mmm... See how it is all ooey gooey in the middle.
Get a little bit of the outside, center and ice cream on your spoon for the perfect bite!

What are some of your memories from your wedding day or honeymoon?  Do you have any food memories that correspond with those special days?
