I was browsing this recipe for Chocolate Lava cake, curious as to how it is done. The website explains:
"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 too soon and the centers were not cooked enough and still liquefied. Well, there was no time to take them off the plates and bake them more, so the chef simply had his wait staff introduce the dessert as Chocolate 'Lava' Cake! Brilliant!"
So a chocolate lava cake is simply a chocolate cake baked just enough to cook the sides, while still gooey on the inside. Did you know that?

Good grief! No kidding? That’s something I sure didn’t know.
Everything I bake is not cooked on the inside. Bread, cake, muffins, scones. My dog has never complained.
God bless.
New amazings things are often found by accident!
They are so yummie!
I love lava cakes☺
Good.
No, I didn't know that. Chocolate cooked, uncooked - what's not to love?
