The chocolate lava cake, also simply known as molten chocolate cake, is a delectable and decadent chocolate dessert. The best part is, these cakes come in relatively small portions and are both delicious and not as bad for you as you may think. You may have had this soft, warm, and mouth-watering dessert at restaurants and are ready to try it on your own. The cake is surprisingly easy to make. They’re also called baked chocolate pudding because the cake is firm on the outside and molten chocolate on the inside. This is my favorite chocolate recipe. Chocolate Lava Cakes, which is the perfect dessert cake recipe for Valentine’s Day,Mothers Day, New year or any special celebrations. They are pretty quick to make and this recipe serves 4 people.
