Oh me, Oh my...better than pie

Ridiculous title for the post. I know. The truth is: I love pie! So, it isn't an attempt to say that the following two desserts are actually better than pie, it just happened to rhyme.

It's probably no secret how much I love chocolate, but even better than plain chocolate is molten lava chocolate!!!! Gooey in the middle, warm and cake-y on the outside...delicious!

I've made a few molten lava cakes in the last few years, but this recipe is my FAVORITE and also seems to be the easiest. Just to make sure I wasn't fooling myself, we had over a few friends on Saturday night and they were a hit for them too.

I've mentioned her blog before (and maybe this recipe) but seriously, if you aren't following The Pioneer Woman, what are you waiting for? Here is her post about the recipe she found on the Tasty Kitchen:

Since I made these on Saturday, I figured something with fruit would be better for our small group potluck on Sunday night. I didn't really want to have to buy anything I didn't have in our kitchen already, so I found a recipe on the Tasty Kitchen and adapted it. Why I didn't take picture? I have no idea!

So, here is the original recipe for Strawberry Cobbler Cake http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/recipes/desserts/strawberry-cobbler-cake/

What I did differently: I doubled the recipe & baked in a 9 X 13 X 3 stoneware cake pan. I think it took about 60 minutes. I also used frozen fruit that I had thawed and did strawberries, blueberries & blackberries. I will make this again! (*drool)
