The batter, made with fresh eggs, sugar, and a touch of flour, is mixed to create a smooth and airy texture. Once baked, the exterior of the cake forms a delicate crust, while the interior remains warm and gooey, oozing out as you cut into it. This harmonious contrast between the soft cake and the molten center is what makes our Chocolate Lava Cake an irresistible delight.
