Wow, they must not have cooked it long enough. My husband had it on the Conquest for 7 nights in a row and it was very good...mostly cakey with some chocolaty ooze in the middle.

Thanks for all the receipes, I think I will start with the microwavable versions and work my way up. :) We only had it one time on the Triumph because we foolishly ate too much to have room for desert. But the one time we did have it, it was perfect!

[yellowbird822]

The matre de on the Conquest gave us the recipe. He said it is the most popular dessert they serve. I just got back yesterday afternoon and sure missed having this dessert last night.

I am not sure of the recipe. I only know I must have it again.

That crap is the best yet- I figured they semi cooked the mix and that's why it tasted the way it did! I ordered it twice and hubby ordered every night except once! HA HA!

[sysguy]

My DS and DD (okay, okay, me too!!!) are drooling already. We are keeping our fingers crossed that our melting cakes are perfect!:D

Here is my recipe:

Get in the car, drive to Trader Joes and purchase their Chocolate Lava Cake. Bake it and serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a tiny scoop of Double Rainbow Ice Cream and call it good. ;)

While dining in The Posh Restaurant on the Carnival Freedom, I always ordered TWO of the Warm Chocolate Melting Cake. My server, Mariola -- who was THE BEST SERVER EVER -- remembered that...and by the fourth night, my dessert order was a simple nod between me and her. I loved that WCMC! I would eat a portion of the "cap" away, and then slip the ice cream into it. Mmmmmmm. Sweet hot 'n' cold goodness!

Go to tastefullysimple.com and order the "Chocolate Ugly Cake Mix" ... it's fool-proof, easy, and tastes amazing! You'll be glad you did! :)

Here's the recipe my daughter-in-law used last night. It was delicious, tasted exactly like on the cruise.

8 oz dark chocolate (she used regular chocolate)

8 oz butter

5 eggs

5 oz sugar

3 oz flour (2/3 cup)

Melt chocolate & butter

Mix eggs and sugar and whisk for a few minutes, add the flour

Add the egg mix to the melted chocolate and mix

Pour into greased ramekins (makes 6)

Bake at 400 for 12-14 minutes.

She made them early in the day, we popped them in the micro to warm and they were perfect!

We became addicted to this dessert in our Caribbean cruise.

Your conversion wasn't right. http://boards.cruisecritic.com/images/smilies/frown.gifIt resulted in a very bland chocolate bread-like thing. The proper converted recipe is below. I will try it out soon and report back.

 

A very, very quick conversion... is anyone able to check my math?

 

1 pound dark baking chocolate, grated

1 pound (4 sticks) butter

10 eggs (room temperature)

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 cup flour (sifted)

 

Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan at low heat

Beat room temperature eggs in a big mixing bowl. Beat in sugar. Continue to beat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is creamy and thick.

Gradually mix chocolate into the eggs. Fold in the flour.

Pour into buttered 1 cup souffle dishes.

Bake at 400 Farenheit for 14 minutes.

 

My guess is that this makes about 10 individual "melting cakes"

Ok.... This is what I've told the wife... If I'm in the hospital on my last leg, probably deaf, dumb and blind, tubes in me for WHATEVER reason I want her to somehow get me some of the Carnival Warm Chocolate Melting cake to my lips...Then get it inside my mouth...THEN tell the docs to pull the plug>>>>> I will die a happy man!!!!!!!!:D :D :D

[malibu87]

Wonder if the cake is the same as Chocolate Lava Cake??? The Lava cake when cut is filled with soft/liquid chocolate ... one of my hubby's favorites.

 

I found a recipe with lots of photos of the Chocolate Lava Cake. Hope this helps:

yes, that is exactly what it is and I bought some pre-made at Trader Joe's that taste JUST LIKE the one's on Carnival.

[BambiRumsey]

The Chocolate lava muffins by Alton Brown posted by UPCrawfish (or Lava Love Muffins as I have come to call them) are truly the best thing you will ever put in your mouth and not particularly difficult to make.....

[Marybelle]

This dessert was a favorite among diners at our table, and we ordered it again and again.;) :rolleyes: ;)

 

Hard to describe, but on a shore excursion I overheard a rancher from the mid-West ask another man if he'd tried it yet. The other one hadn't and asked about it. The rancher merely replied, "Oh Lord have mercy!"

 

In addition to the nightly menu, there are sections titled Spa Selection which has fat/carb conscious choices for dieters and Alternative Selections with simple favorites like steak, chicken, Tiger Tail shrimp, baked potato. The menu is also available on the tv screen in your cabin and you can click on various dishes to see what they're made with.

Ingredients

1 lb dark chocolate

1 lb butter

10 eggs

1/2 cup plus 4 tbsp sugar

1/2 cup less 4 tbsp flour

Melting Chocolate Cake

We scaled Carnival's recipe down but couldn't help but share it in its original form. Serving 90, it called for 8 pounds of dark chocolate, 8 pounds of butter, 80 eggs, 5 pounds of sugar and 5 pounds of flour! This kitchen-friendly version will make 10 to 12 individual cakes. Make sure that the eggs are at room temperature and chocolate is still warm when combining.

 

1. Melt the chocolate and butter together.

 

2. In a seperate bowl, mix the eggs and sugar; whisk for a few minutes, then add the flour.

 

3. Add the egg mixture to the melted chocolate and mix.

 

4. Pour the mix into greased individual serving dishes. Bake in the oven at 200 degrees celsius (between 375 and 400 fahrenheit) for 14 minutes.

 

5. Enjoy warm! Cruise Critic member tinabrn says it's "awesome with ice cream."

First cruise on March 2 and I had it twice and loved it; DH didn't like it said too rich ... okay, but I did ... LOL.

 

First one was perfect and second one was more cake than melted liquid in middle, but I loved it both ways.
