Talie's Magnificent Molten Lava Cakes
I chose to bake Molten lava cakes with the Write to Cook because I love molten lava cakes and also my grandma loves baking Molten lava cakes too. She always added orange zest which makes the cake pop in flavor. I like cooking Molten lava cake because this is a recipe that my family loves and uses at reunions.
