Chocolate Lava Cakes

This rich and dense chocolate cake has an alluring warm and gooey chocolate center that flows like lava when you break into the cake. It takes just a few simple ingredients to make this impressive and decadent dessert.

Are you one of those people who makes a big fuss over Valentine’s? I think I used to when I was younger, but now that I’ve been married for almost 10 years, it’s been simplified to a nice homemade dinner and maybe a card. The days of going to a fancy restaurant and going all out seem to be a distant memory lol.

I remember reading about Galentine’s Day a few years ago, and thinking to myself, what a great idea! Single or not, it’s a special day to celebrate your best girlfriends and being ladies. Especially after the year we’ve had, I think it’s more important than ever to celebrate being a woman. No more putting up with crap. Be strong, be supportive of one another, be fierce, and let’s make 2018 a year for women! Okay, that’s my rant for today. My apologies for getting sidetracked there. Anyways, back to the recipe.

This elegant and impressive dessert is surprisingly easy to make. It’s just chocolate, butter, powdered sugar, eggs, flour, a dash of vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Molten lava cake is basically an undercooked cake. The uncooked batter is what gives you that delightful pudding-like center that makes this dessert so special.

This chocolate lava cake is rich and intensely chocolatey with a silky-smooth chocolate liquid center. The simplicity and elegance of this dessert make it suited for a romantic occasion or any special occasion to celebrate with good friends and family.
