This lava cake is so decadent it instantly and inevitably puts one in a love-y mood.  This ease of this recipe as related to presentation and immoral indulgence is completely unbalanced.  It looks as if you have spent all afternoon baking, when in reality, the 7 ingredients can be whipped up in less than a …
