Chocolate dessert It is believed that the lavacake was invented in 1987 in New York, when the chef took a chocolate biscuit out of the oven some time beforehand, but the French contest the primacy in this matter and believe that in France melted chocolate desserts were prepared much earlier. Be that as it may, the lavakeake in the USA is especially popular, it is even considered a good way to finish the dinner with this dessert. In cooking lavacake, there are some features, in particular, the baking should be finished at the time when the edges of the biscuit are already baked, and the middle will only be covered with a film and will be still liquid. The baking time in this case will have to be set experimentally depending on the characteristics of the oven and the size of the mold. Forms usually use ceramic heat-resistant for portioned desserts, but I managed by improvised means, taking steel coconut bottles and silicone cake molds. The latter did not suit me, but the cooks managed to cope with the problem. In the dough, to enhance the chocolate flavor, you can add coffee liqueur or vanilla extract, and serve, depending on the desire, with ice cream, whipped cream and any berries.
