chocolate lava cake

Oozing cocoa confection

A chocolate lava cake is a rich dessert with a warm, molten chocolate center that flows out when the cake is cut or broken.

The effect comes from underbaking, leaving the interior liquid while the outside sets.

Also called molten chocolate cake.

The chocolate lava cake arrived with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
