<p>Molten Lava Chocolate Cake. I think we can all agree that the majority of the population loves chocolate cake. But, molten lava chocolate cake (also called chocolate fondant) is in a league of its own! It’s chocolate cake taken to a whole new level; extremely chocolatey, warm and indulgent. And, as most desserts go, they are perfect year round; on cold Winter days and equally on hot Summer days. I LOVE making them for Christmas, Valentine&#8217;s or birthdays. You would dig into them enthusiastically any day, right? I certainly would. In fact, I wish I had one (or two, or three) in front of me right now.</p>

<p>Picture this: You have a lava cake in front of you, that you just took out of the oven. You sink your fork/spoon into the freshly baked, still warm chocolate cake and molten chocolate lava pools out. Now that&#8217;s the definition of food porn. Even better when it’s dusted with powdered sugar and topped with raspberries. Or served with vanilla ice cream that will start melting into your molten lava chocolate cake. You&#8217;re picturing it right now, aren&#8217;t you? If you’ve tried lava cakes, you know exactly what I’m talking about. If you haven&#8217;t, it’s definitely time to remedy that situation. ;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-2034" src="https://thesweetbalance.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Molten-Lava-Chocolate-Cake-2-1024x576.jpg" alt="Molten Lava Chocolate Cake" width="1024" height="576"></p>
<p>Naturally, molten lava cakes need to be served warm to retain that liquid lava chocolate consistency. So, if you’re indulging the following day, here&#8217;s a tip; pop them in the oven or microwave for a couple of minutes to re-heat them. ;</p>
<p>I would say, these chocolate fondants come a very close second to my <a href="https://thesweetbalance.net/recipes/fudge/perfectly-fudgy-brownies/amp/">perfectly fudgy brownies</a> in indulgence level. You should definitely try them out and thank me later!</p>
<p>As always, share if you make them, I’d love to see!</p>
<p>Happy indulging, <a name="recipejump"></a></p>
