This sinfully delightful cake is a chocolate lover’s dream. In the first step, you literally paint (with a pastry brush) a buttery-chocolate mixture over the pan. Whoever thought of adding cocoa powder to melted butter is a genius! The first step should set the mood for this cake, and it’s only the beginning.
This dessert’s texture is amazing. The first time I tasted this cake, when my good friend Laila brought it over, I fell in love with it. What could the semi-molten chocolate center be made of? Imagine my surprise at hearing that it was all made with the same batter despite its different textures. The exterior has the consistency of a chocolate brownie, fading to a traditional cake-like texture, and then finally melting into a lava-esque, moist center.
