wms99 Posted August 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Buy a box of chocolate brownie mix. Mix as directed and put in a muffin pan. Change the bake temp up by 75*F. This will cook the outside of the cupcake, but leave the inside gooey. Adding a Hersey kiss in the middle of each muffin is also a neat thing. Not an exact copy, but it sure will get in your mouth.

chicchic325 Posted August 30, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I used Carnival's recipie a long time ago and it worked. That said, there are also AMAZING crock-pot recipes out there for melting cakes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five. Posted August 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2018 We've done a gluten-free version a few times. My sister does it most of the time now, I can find out what her current recipe is if you want me to. Her recipe is pretty close to the ship. Back when I did it personally, I followed the carnival recipe. SO MUCH BUTTER! Turned out ok, but not as good as the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laststop Posted August 30, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 30, 2018 My wife has made them with a recipe she found and they are just as good. Also, the crockpot molten cakes are pretty amazing as well and you can have more than just one. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggielover68 Posted August 30, 2018 #8 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Not sure if we are able to post links here, but there is one that I use from Americas test kitchen. If you google molten chocolate cakes for two, you should be able to find it :) Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memecakes Posted August 30, 2018 #9 Share Posted August 30, 2018 This is the actual recipe from carnival that I received when doing a behind-the-scenes tour(Sidenote excellent tour if you’ve never done it) you must use a very good dark chocolate and use extra fine baking sugar. I use ramekins just like in the picture. Comes out perfect every time. I have family that begs me to make this for special occasions.

Lee Cruiser Posted August 31, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I guess my wife and I are in the minority, but we are not big fans of the chocolate melting cake. It is okay, but not great. My wife makes a much better chocolate cobbler and chocolate chip cake that I would take any day over the melting cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckiestmanonearth Posted August 31, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Have done Chefs table 5 times and each time we get this recipe. And not once have we ever tried to make it.

I'm the only one at the table that doesn't order it, too rich for my blood, as are most desserts. I love the fruit plate and sherbet though! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan_Cruiser Posted August 31, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 31, 2018 We got the recipe on the behind the fun tour and my wife has perfected it. The key is to use very good dark chocolate and make sure the eggs are at room temp. We have served this several times to friends that we are trying to talk into cruising with us and it hooks them every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bury me at sea Posted August 31, 2018 #19 Share Posted August 31, 2018 [quote=Titan_Cruiser;5692747 ... The key is to use very good dark chocolate and make sure the eggs are at room temp. I adjust the recipe above from Carnival by using only 3 eggs. For measuring ease, it's half a cup of sugar, and 5 level Tablespoons of flour. Use very good bitter or semi-sweet chocolate, minimum of 60% cacao -- somewhere in the 70's is best, and use unsalted butter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badfinger Posted September 1, 2018 #23 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Has anyone had success at making this at home? we have the recipe that carnival put out a while back and it was not good. Any tips or recipes would be greatly appreciated. I am not sure even Carnival has success with WCMC anymore. On recent Breeze cruise, I ordered it 4 times. The first time was really runny..about 85% liquid. The second time it was not runny at all...basically cake through and through about 0% liquid. The 3rd time it was how I think it is suppose to be...about 30% runny all in the middle. The 4th night was like the first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
