Recipe Notes
Chocolate Lava Cake Storage Instructions
The lava cakes can be stored in the fridge for 3 days and n the freezer for up to 6 months. These little treats are fantastic to have in the freezer when you want that cheeky dessert.
Chocolate Lava Cake Reheating Instructions
To reheat, place in a microwave and heat in burst until the chocolate sauce is hot in the centre. It’s not recommended to rehear these in the oven as they will dry out, and the chocolate centre will cook into the cake becoming dry.
What If I Dont Have Ramekins?
If you don’t have ovenproof ramekins, this recipe can be made using muffin trays. If using a muffin tray instead of ramekins, you’ll be able to get 6 cakes instead of 4 (depending on the size of your muffin tray). The cakes in a muffin tray will need to be cooked for 8 minutes as they will be smaller.
