These lava cakes really interested me while i was looking for recipes to make for a Christmas Party. I made them during the party, because i had to serve them while hot, so i didn't have a lot of time socializing. I baked them for the right amount of time, but when they came out, there was no molten center, which was disappointing because i had built them up so much. They were extremely rich (probably the yogurt) and i would like to try them again.

This is really good!! I was a little concerned about the black cherry favored yogurt but decided to make the recipe exactly according to the instructions the first time. I am so glad that I did. It was wonderful! I do think that I baked them too long ( I did not get 12 out of the mix and baked them 2 min longer than recommended to compensate for bigger cakes). However they were still very good and very moist. These treats will be a staple for our special Fri. Night dinners!!
