Chocolate Lava Cake image

I was looking for a lava cake recipe using cocoa powder, rather than prepared chocolate. I modified a recipe from Jan Kruse found at http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/mercurynews/living/columnists/homeplates/16800969.htm

1/4 cup cocoa, divided use
2 tablespoons melted butter
