Did you know?

Lava cake is also known as molten chocolate cake.
It was reportedly created by Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten in New York in the 1980s.
The signature runny center comes from underbaking the batter or using a ball of chocolate ganache inside.
Despite being rich, it usually has a short ingredient list—often under 6 ingredients.
