  1. a chocolate lava cake is better cuz it has more chocolate... i think.
  2. Saucy chocolate cake

    1 cup All pupose flour
    ½ cup Sugar
    5 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
    2 teaspoon Baking powder
    ½ teaspoon Salt
    ¾ cup Milk
    2 tablespoon Butter; melted
    1 teaspoon Vanilla
    Topping
    ¾ cup Packed light brown suagr
    1 ¾ cup Boiling water
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Butter 8" x 8" x 2" baking dish. Combine flour, sugar, 3 tbsp cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Stir in milk, butter and vanilla just until blended. Spoon into dish and spread evenly. In another bowl combine brown sugar, remaining 2 tbsp cocoa; gradually stir in boiling water until sugar dissolves. Gently pour over batter in pan. Bake 25-30 mins until top of cake springs back when touched. Cool 30 mins and dust with confectioners sugar. Serve warm!

    Molten Lava Cakes

    6 (1-ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate
    2 (1-ounce) squares semisweet chocolate
    10 tablespoons (1 1/4 stick) butter
    1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
    3 large eggs
    3 egg yolks
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    2 tablespoons orange liqueur

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

    Grease 6 (6-ounce) custard cups. Melt the chocolates and butter in the microwave, or in a double boiler. Add the flour and sugar to chocolate mixture. Stir in the eggs and yolks until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and orange liqueur. Divide the batter evenly among the custard cups. Place in the oven and bake for 14 minutes. The edges should be firm but the center will be runny. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert onto dessert plates.
  3. they both sound good to me but i think the idea of the lava cake is the inside is suppose to be warm and when you cut into it the sauce flows out. a saucy cake has sauce on top.
