Chocolate Chili Molten Lover Cake
This recipe is quick and easy with a firm exterior and a soft gooey interior. Make sure you use a very mild chili, either Ancho or California. The idea is a nice chili flavor with not much bite. You certainly do not want your lover to run away from the table! You can also omit the chili and still have a seductive Valentines dessert.
