Molten Chocolate Lava Cake Recipe Video
Legend has it that this dessert was the result of a major catering disaster. The dessert for this particular event was to be individual chocolate cakes, but someone took them out of the ovens to soon and the centers where not cooked enough and still liquefied. Well, there was no time to take them off the plates and cook them more, so the Chef simply had his wait staff introduce the dessert as Chocolate “Lava” Cake! Brilliant! Now, whether this is true or not, I don’t know for sure, but it totally sounds like something a Chef would do. If you have a better story email it to me and I’ll start using it.
Regardless of how it was born, it sure is good. I used very dark chocolate, but you can use semi-sweet or milk chocolate if you prefer. If you’ve watch my clips regularly you know I’m not big on measuring ingredients, BUT when you’re doing baked desserts you really do need to be accurate. So measure carefully. By the way, this was a view request and the photo he sent me (pictured above with the fruit) had no copyright info with it. I did use it in the clip and hopefully no one gets too upset. If you did happen to take this photo, and are upset I’m using it without permission, please email my legal department at info@idont_have_alegal_department.com. Enjoy!

Re choc lava cake: You were too busy to give the ingredients on the website. you probably said go to the website for the ingredients 5-6 times. they are not available on the website. quite obnoxious & very annoying. What about teh time I spent looking for something that doesn't exist?

I was not smart enough to find the exact measurements on the ingredients. I suppose I just kept overlooking it. The video gives good directions, but I really would have the directions in a text form.
