My family loved these. I ended up with probably twice as much batter as necessary, so there was a bit more cake than I would have liked. But no one complained! Served with vanilla ice cream ... everyone ate it all up. Thanks for the lovely, easy recipe. Delish! My family loved these.

As I don't have the ramekins, one question: Can it be made in a larger pan? Perhaps a leak proof springform or even a regular cake pan? Please advise and thank you so much in advance!

My husband loved it for his birthday "cake". Only thing I would do different: Double the caramel sauce. Mmmm. Thanks! P.S....I melted a bit of good quality chocolate and mixed it into about the last 1/3 of the batter and made some chocolate ones. Very good too---but that was as much because the overall recipe is great anyway. Fabulous recipe. My husband loved it for his birthday “cake”.

Btw.. I don't seem to have much luck when I reverse cream using all purpose flour, but I don't like using cake flour. How did you find the texture of this cake? Wow, those cakes look amazing! Btw..

I think the original recipe called for 6 tablespoons of rum, which I reduced to 5. Keep reducing if you want less alcohol flavor. I am anxious to try these as mini-cakes, let me know if you beat me to it! Hi Dawn: Yes, I would guess bourbon would be a little stronger than the rum.

But... the booziness was a bit overpowering for me. I was out of rum (gasp!) and I subbed in some good bourbon, so maybe that was the problem. And they were sooo rich I couldn't even finish one (and I can seriously eat). Guess I'll have to make them again, in mini-size and with rum this time, just to test out my theories. :) Made these this weekend after coveting them daily since you posted. ;) The cake was just as moist, and the caramel just as sticky-good, as I hoped.

My guess is that it came from the "Best of 2009" issue (one of those impulse buys at the check-out). Maybe someone can verify?
