Storing Leftovers
If you have any leftover cake, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. To keep the molten chocolate center intact, it’s best to refrigerate the cake and microwave individual slices to heat up the center before serving.
Recipe Tips and Variations
Chocolate Lava Cake Tip: For an extra gooey lava effect, make sure the chocolate filling is warm when you assemble the cake, but not too runny.
Cake Flour Substitute: If you don’t have cake flour, use all-purpose flour, but replace 2 tablespoons of the flour with cornstarch for a lighter texture.
Flavor Variations: Add a teaspoon of instant coffee powder to the cake batter for a deeper chocolate flavor, or experiment with different types of chocolate in the filling (milk, dark, or even white chocolate).
Ganache Variation: You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate in the ganache with milk chocolate for a sweeter finish.
