Oozing chocolate cake

I am looking for a dessert to make for guests. Some good ones like banana pudding need chilling. Its 75F. So what I am looking for is a warm dessert. Oozing chocolate cake fits the needs. Lets see how it turns out.

Its soft. Tastes good when warm. But the time to bake needs to be doubled than what is in the recipe.

My friend walked into the kitchen to see if she could help with anything. I had the batter ready thinking that since the baking time is under 15 min, I could get the dessert during the main course. When she looked at the brown batter being ladled into the ramekins
'Imli(tamarind) hai kya?'

Later when I finally got the dessert done, she appreciated the warmth of the dessert even though chocolate is not her favourite. Now I see why she didnt guess the batter to be of chocolate.

I have seen desserts charm people especially when they get done when people are ready for it. Use this tip generously.

My friend got me Mango burfi, Sutar pheni. Her husband while explaining pheni said not to confuse it with Nira.

I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
