Subject: My birthday is coming up

I haven't decided whether to splurge for the birthday dinner or not, but I was cruising the Atkins site for a birthday cake and found the following recipe. It sounds great to me, and if I decide to stick to my WOE I'll probably make this.

Molten Chocolate Cakes
Dont overbake these decadent little dessertsthey should be gooey in the centers.

Ingredients
6 tablespoons butter
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon Atkins Bake Mix
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 large egg yolks, at room temperature
8 packets sugar substitute
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
1. Heat oven to 375� F. Generously grease four 6 ounce custard cups with shortening and dust with bake mix. Place cups on a baking sheet.
2. Melt butter and chocolate in a double boiler. Remove from heat; cool. Stir in bake mix. Transfer to a large bowl.
3. With an electric mixer on high, beat eggs, egg yolks, sugar substitute and vanilla until almost firm peaks form, about 4 minutes.
4. In three additions, fold egg mixture into chocolate mixture. Divide batter in cups.
5. Bake 8-9 minutes until toothpick inserted near edge comes out clean and inserted in center comes out with batter. Cool 3 minutes. Run knife around edge, turn upside down to release onto serving plates. Serve immediately

Shara, I'm not sure how the copywrite thing works, so didn't post this to the recipe index. Let me know if it's okay to post there, because these sound yummy!

How soon is your birthday sissy poo? 29 again right? (NT) -- Kel, 13:57:41 07/30/02 Tue
- Actually, it's 39. I can admit it. I'm going to be the oldest mom in my son's class the whole time he's growing up. Anyway, it's not until August 15. I have a little over 2 weeks to figure out how I'm going to handle my meals on that day. I'm leaning towards going with slightly higher carbs (maybe 40-50), but don't want to blow the whole month for one day. (NT) -- Katie, 08:23:25 07/31/02 Wed
