Because when someone talked about the Molten chocolate cake, all I can think of is the traditional one, the rich chocolate cake with the creamy chocolate sauce inside that you have to serve while it's still warm.
But now the Molten chocolate lava cake that's very popular in Thailand is the chocolate cake with a load of chocolate sauce and cocoa powder on top, ^^"
So, when I was asked to make Molten chocolate cake, I made this one instead of the popular one, haha.
Anyway, I will make that Molten chocolate cake for sure !!!!
This traditional Molten chocolate cake, it's very easy to make, the only tricky part is baking and serving. As each oven acts differently, so you have to adjust the baking time (and temperature) to suit yours.
You can prepare this dessert ahead of time, by making the batter and pour it into the molds and refrigerate, bake it just before serving (and remember that the baking time will be different).
