Chocolate Lava Cakes (2-pack)

The microwave timer hit zero and I pulled these out—the outer cake held its shape while the center stayed perfectly molten. That dark chocolate filling is genuinely velvety, not overly sweet, and the two-pack is just right for a quiet Friday night in.

I’ve tried a lot of lava cakes, but the contrast between that cakey outside and the warm, velvety dark chocolate center is exactly what I’ve been chasing. Two minutes in the microwave and it was practically molten perfection.

Baked these for about 12 minutes and the outside set into a perfect cake while the center stayed that luscious, velvety dark chocolate lava. My spoon sank right through.
