molten cake
Gooey chocolate center
A molten cake is a small chocolate cake with a liquid center that flows out when cut open.
The exterior bakes to a firm texture while the inside remains underdone and gooey—achieved through precise timing or by placing frozen ganache in the batter before baking.
Also called lava cake or chocolate fondant: The molten cake oozed onto the plate when she broke through the crust.
