Molten Lava Cake

One of the all-time favourites of all chocolate-lovers, the Molten Lava Cake is so popular that it is sold not just in patisseries and dessert bars but also in other restaurants and eateries such as pizzerias.



Indeed, no one can resist this melt-in-the-mouth cake with gooey chocolate oozing out of its centre!

In order to get the perfect mouth-feel, with the molten lava effect, you must serve this immediately after unmoulding.

Avoid over-baking as the filling will harden and you will no longer have that molten chocolate inside it! We have used milk at room temperature, not cold milk.

You can also try other yummy desserts like the Chocolate Popcorn Marshmallow Bars or Chocolate Pie
