molten lava cakes
Oozing chocolate centers
Molten lava cakes are individual chocolate cakes with warm, liquid centers that flow out when cut open.
The dessert depends on precise timing—underbaking creates the molten core while the exterior sets into cake.
Also called chocolate lava cakes or fondants.
The molten lava cake oozed onto the plate when she broke through the crust.
