I know what you’re asking.

You are asking: ‘Petra, if I eat this, when am I allowed to eat next? In seven days? In two weeks? A year? It looks so rich.’

I truly don’t know the answer to that question.

But what I do know is that St.Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, and on that day all things luscious and sinful are more than allowed.

Luscious and sinful, that’s exactly what this dessert is.

And here is how you can make it too…

I love these little babies.

Surprisingly, this has been the first time I’ve ever made them myself.

While preparing these Chocolate Lava Cakes I learned that they are super-fun to make.

They are also surprising. That is what you find out when you dig into them.

And, with the generous amount of chocolate they contain, I’m sure they are just super seductive.

That all makes them the perfect dessert choice for Valentine’s Day, don’t you think?

Now, let me invite you to my kitchen and show you how I prepared my version of these adorable sweet cakes…
