Chocolate Lava Cake is a stunning cake perfect for special occasions or a romantic dinner, despite its simplicity. It's especially easy to make using Ree Drummond's recipe: just mix all the ingredients in a bowl, pour the batter into the molds, and bake. It's important not to over-bake the cakes, so that only the shells set and the center remains warm but still flowing. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and enjoy dipping it into the chocolate lava as it oozes out of the cake.
