Peanut Butter and Chocolate Melt Away Cake image

This is a little different than the melt away cake already posted. This one has 1/2 cup more butter in the cake and a chocolate icing. I made it in a Williams Sonoma Lady Ann cake pan. It is 1 layer pan with an indention for the peanut butter. It looks very professional and appealing.

CHOCOLATE MELTING CAKE



Chocolate Melting Cake image

We discovered this dessert on Carnival Cruise lines, but the measurements were in odd sizes. We revised this to work with standard purchase sizes, AND changed from fresh eggs to pasteurized eggs, since the recipe does not fully cook the eggs in the center of the dessert. If you follow the directions exactly, this dessert is as easy as it is delciious. Note that it can be made ahead and held in the refrigerator until you are ready to finish and serve it, so it's perfect for entertaining.
