Jarva Cakes: Craving in a Cup

There are few things in this world that I crave from the deepest, innermost regions of my being more than a warm, fudgy brownie. I'm hesitant to disclose just how much I love brownies after sharing cookie-for-breakfast-issue in my last blog post.  But the fact is, I could eat and have eaten an entire pan.

Now before you get huffy and ask, Who put this crazy cocoa-frenzied fanatic in charge of the fresh eating column for Gourmet Weekday, anyway? I'd like to make it clear that this post is actually not about brownies at all - it deals with something so much more spectacular. Warm, gooey, dark chocolate decadence. Rich, melt-in-your-mouth center hand-crafted by a local chocolatier. Home-made. Delectable. Delightful.  Craving satisfied in a cup in less time than it takes to find that box of brownies.

Dear friends, I present to you: The Jarva Cake.

These dark chocolate Jarva cakes are made using a traditional lava cake recipe that has been simplified for you to enjoy at a moment's notice by local business owner, Michelle Shields. Each cake is crafted with the finest ingredients in small batches to achieve a melt-in-your mouth experience that will put any brownie to shame. The best part is that it's all mixed up and ready to heat - you just have to add water and pop it into the microwave for 35 - 45 seconds.

I love these cakes because I know they are made with care and without the yucky preservatives that often come in boxed foods (even my beloved brownies). They are a truly gourmet way to fix that ever-nagging chocolate craving and a lovely gift or party favor.
