Molten Chocolate Pudding Cake Recipe

(Lava Cake)

Recently Lava cakes have become very popular. This is a quick and delicious way to enjoy that wonderful tasting dessert.

I have heard that this chocolate lava cake was the result of a major culinary disaster. The dessert was meant to be individual chocolate cakes, but a cook took them out of the ovens to soon, and the centers where still liquefied. Since there was no time to cook them further, the Chef simply introduced the dessert as chocolate “lava” cake!

Preheat oven, grease baking dish.

Prepare cake mix as directed on package. Stir in half of the chocolate chunks. Pour into prepared dish; set aside.
Pour milk into large bowl. Add dry pudding mixes, flavored instant coffee and cinnamon. Beat with wire whisk for 1 min. or until well blended. Pour over the top of the cake batter, starting in center working your way to the side of pan; sprinkle with the remaining chocolate chunks.
BAKE until cake appears done in the center. Cool slightly.
