Recipe Required: Individual Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Inside?

[Wallie]

I would love to make the individual chocolate cakes you get in restaurants, you know the ones that are served in restaurants. When you open it up the inside runs with chocolate sauce of some kind. I'd do a search on google but does anyone know what the name of these cakes are? Or if you have a recipe that would be even better... thanks in advance as would love to make these on Christmas Day for our Dinner .
