I have to admit, when I was a kid, I secretly wished someone would dunk my face in my birthday cake, especially if it was a chocolate cake! Why? Subconsciously, it was probably because I didn’t want anyone else to have any of it :). But, if you asked me then, it’s likely I would’ve just admitted to loving the thrill and excitement of having chocolate cake and frosting all over my face. Who can resist the gooeyness of chocolate?

Now that I’m older, I’ve come to appreciate the finer desserts, like Chocolate Puddle Pudding :)! The name of the dessert makes me think of jumping into a puddle of sweetness, after getting covered in chocolate raindrops. Liz’s Chocolate Puddle Pudding, however, brings to mind a volcano of chocolate covered in self-saucing lava! Just take a look at the photo she has on her blog Gastronomy Domine and you’ll know what I’m talking about.

Kate says this recipe is so easy to make, that even her cat’s could get together and whip up this dessert after a long day of chasing mice and rolling around in the kitty litter! I think the description she puts on her digital recipe card is hilarious :)! Doesn’t that look like a dessert you want to dive right into, face first? Forget the chocolate cake, I want this for my birthday this year!
