boychef · #1 10-31-2006, 09:19 AM

Hi,

I had a very rich delicious chocolate cake at a cafe. The warm melted chocolate flow out when i cut the cake. Indeed yummy!!

Does anybody know how they put the melted chocolate inside the cake?

Howdy, Boychef,
This is also known as a Chocolate Lava Cake, and the different methods to make them abound on the net...here's one example (http://snipurl.com/10vr0). I also have a recipe in which the cake is mostly chocolate, has very little flour, and is intentionally slightly underbaked, leaving the center somewhat gooey (this version has to be made in a ramekin).

Hope you enjoy trying this out...

Cheers,

Micki

Hey Free Rider,
The link for the lava cake is not mine...it's Pastry Chef Central's recipe section...just happened to come up when I googled "chocolate lava cake." I'm a home cook, pastry nut

, and satisfied customer of Pastry Chef Central. Certainly not at the cookbook-writing level (yet

)...

thanks for asking, though...Catchya later...
